The ruling on entering the 'Isha' prayer with the intention of Maghrib for a traveler
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I was traveling, and when I arrived at one of the villages, I found the imam praying 'Isha'. I had not yet prayed Maghrib, and the imam was one rak'ah ahead of me. When the imam said the taslim, I said it with him. Is my prayer valid?
Answer:
It is better for you to pray Maghrib alone or with the congregation. However, if you enter with the imam at the beginning or the end of the 'Isha' prayer with the intention of Maghrib, this is permissible.
