The ruling on one who missed the Maghrib prayer and attended the 'Isha' prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If I miss the Maghrib prayer and arrive at the mosque while the 'Isha' prayer is being called for, should I pray with the intention of Maghrib or 'Isha'? And if it is Maghrib, how do I pray it?
Answer:
Do not pray 'Isha' before Maghrib; the order must be maintained. Pray Maghrib first, then join the imam in the remaining part of the 'Isha' prayer. If you join the imam with the intention of Maghrib, then sit in the third rak'ah and do not follow him in the fourth. You may conclude your prayer yourself, or wait for the imam and conclude with him; there is no harm in that. Yes.
