How to combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers for one who catches up with the Maghrib congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We have a problem regarding prayer on Saturdays. Sometimes I want to combine the 'Isha' and Maghrib prayers by advancing 'Isha' to be prayed with Maghrib. I find a second congregation praying Maghrib, and if I wait, I find a third congregation also praying Maghrib. What must I do to combine the 'Isha' and Maghrib prayers, and pray 'Isha' immediately after Maghrib?
Answer:
Join them in the Maghrib prayer. If you find no one else, join them in the Maghrib prayer. They intend Maghrib, and you intend 'Isha', and you complete four rak'ahs. This achieves the combination and shortening. It is not permissible for you in this case, because Maghrib is not shortened.
