Joining the congregation for 'Isha' with the intention of Maghrib for the traveler
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I am traveling and I want to combine Maghrib with 'Isha' by delaying the prayer. I want to join a congregation that is praying 'Isha', and the first rak'ah has already passed. I want to join them as a congregation for the Maghrib prayer. What should I do?
The Shaykh:
They are praying 'Isha' and you are praying Maghrib. Yes, if you complete three rak'ahs behind the imam, that is sufficient, because Maghrib is three rak'ahs; you do not add more than three. Yes.
The presenter:
And what do we do?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The presenter:
And what about you?
The Shaykh:
If you arrive at the beginning, and the imam stands up for the fourth rak'ah, he does not stand up; he sits and recites the tashahhud for the final sitting. Then, if he wishes, he says the taslim for himself, and if he wishes, he waits for the imam and says the taslim with him.
