Is it permissible to pray 'Isha' behind someone who is praying tarawih?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : All right, if he says, "I have missed the prayer now. I have prayed the obligatory prayer. I have prayed the obligatory prayer. And I want to pray the rawatib of 'Isha'."

Answer : We say there is no objection. Enter with the imam in the tarawih with the intention of the obligatory prayer, meaning the intention of 'Isha'. When he concludes the prayer, stand up and complete the obligatory prayer with two rak'ahs. Then enter with him in the tarawih with the intention of the rawatib of 'Isha'. When you have prayed the rawatib of 'Isha', enter with him in the tarawih. It does not harm that the intention of the imam and the ma'mum differ. That is, it is permissible for the imam to intend a voluntary prayer and the ma'mum to intend an obligatory prayer. The strange thing is that this is explicitly stated by Imam Ahmad. Imam Ahmad himself stated that it is permissible for a person to pray the 'Isha' prayer behind someone who is praying tarawih. Yes, and this is the correct view. All right.
