Praying Maghrib as two rak'ahs behind a second congregation for a traveler
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner from Abha, Salih, says: I prayed Maghrib in Jeddah as three complete rak'ahs, then a second congregation came to pray Maghrib. I intended to travel to Abha after the Maghrib prayer, so I prayed two rak'ahs with this congregation and said the closing salam, and I had the intention of praying 'Isha'.
Answer:
This is not permissible for you, because the Maghrib prayer is not shortened, and your ruling is the ruling of the imam, so you have to pray it as four rak'ahs, not two, behind the imam. Yes.
