The ruling on one who catches the 'Isha' prayer but has not prayed Maghrib
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man is late and catches the 'Isha' prayer in the mosque, but he has not prayed Maghrib. What should he do?
Answer:
That is, he catches the congregation praying 'Isha', and he has not prayed Maghrib. He has the option to pray Maghrib first, then join the congregation for the remainder of the 'Isha' prayer after the imam says the taslim. He also has the option to join them with the intention of Maghrib. When the imam stands for the third rak'ah, he sits for the final tashahhud. Then, if he wishes, he says the taslim for himself, or if he wishes, he waits for the imam to come for the fourth rak'ah, recite the tashahhud, and say the taslim, and he says the taslim with him. That is better.
