The ruling on praying 'Isha' with the imam during the tarawih prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a group enters the mosque while the people are in the tarawih prayer, do they pray 'Isha' with the imam and then complete it after he finishes, or do they pray it on their own?
The Shaykh:
No, the first option is better: they should join the imam with the intention of praying 'Isha'. When he finishes the taslim of the tarawih, they stand up and complete the prayer for themselves. They do not pray as a separate congregation on their own, because there should not be two congregations in the mosque at the same time. This is the best course of action. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah send prayers and blessings upon you, bless you, make your knowledge beneficial, and thank you for it, and may Allah send prayers upon our Prophet Muhammad.
The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you safe.
