Shortening the 'Isha' prayer behind a congregation praying Maghrib
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Ahmad al-Ghamidi from al-Bahah says: I was traveling and attended the Maghrib prayer with a congregation. I prayed with them, and after the prayer I stood up intending to combine the 'Isha' prayer. There was another congregation, different from the one I had prayed with, who were praying the Maghrib prayer. Is it permissible for me to pray with them with the intention of shortening the 'Isha' prayer?
Answer:
You pray with them, but you complete the prayer with four rak'ahs and do not shorten it behind the Maghrib imam; rather, you complete it with four rak'ahs. When they finish with the taslim, you stand up and perform the fourth rak'ah. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes,
