The number of rak'ahs in the 'Isha' prayer that Mu'adh led for his people
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. When Mu'adh returned to his people and led them in the 'Isha' prayer, did he pray four rak'ahs with them, or did he pray two rak'ahs? Because the night prayer is prayed in pairs of two?
Answer:
He does not pray four rak'ahs with them; because he is their imam in the 'Isha' prayer, which is four rak'ahs, and he is their imam. How can he contradict them?! This is not permissible except in travel. Yes.
