Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If I joined the 'Isha' prayer in its second rak'ah with the intention of the Maghrib prayer, and I said the taslim with the imam, then I prayed the 'Isha' prayer afterwards, is there any error in this action?
Answer:
It is better that you pray Maghrib on your own, not with people whose benefit is the prayer. People like you, for whom the Maghrib prayer is obligatory, should pray it, and then join the imam in what remains of the 'Isha' prayer. However, if this has already happened and you prayed, and the imam saw you praying Maghrib while he was praying 'Isha', we do not say you must repeat it. But it is preferable that you had prayed Maghrib first, and then joined the imam in the 'Isha' prayer with whatever remained of it, even if you only caught the sitting before the taslim.
