Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: The imam combined the 'Isha and Maghrib prayers due to rain, and he prayed one rak'ah of 'Isha. A person joined him with the intention of Maghrib. Is his action valid, or does he have to repeat the prayer?
Answer:
Actions are only by intentions, and every person will get what he intended. So if he intended Maghrib and completed Maghrib, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
