The prayer of one who forgot the Maghrib prayer and prayed the 'Isha' prayer as imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh says: I was traveling, so I intended to…
The Shaykh:
The verse is evidence that there is no good reward except through action. "Glorify the praise of your Lord"[Taha 20:130] This is the cause, and the commands before it are all causes, so nothing exists except through causes. Yes.
The questioner:
So I prayed as a traveler, intending to pray the Maghrib prayer with the women in congregation, then I arrived at the mosque, but I prayed the 'Isha' prayer, and I was the imam, and I forgot to pray the Maghrib prayer. Then I remembered that in the noble question, but I continued with the people praying the 'Isha' prayer. When I finished the prayer, I prayed the Maghrib prayer again, then the 'Isha' prayer. Do I owe anything?
The Shaykh:
Your action was wrong. It is obligatory that when you realized you had not prayed the Maghrib prayer, you should have stepped back, and the people should have prayed for themselves, appointing an imam to lead them, and you should have prayed the Maghrib prayer first, then the 'Isha' prayer. But since the matter passed and you did this out of ignorance and repeated the prayer, your prayer is valid, if Allah wills, and the prayer of the followers is valid because they did not know about it.
The questioner:
I say that the small intellect does not conflict with the heavy soul.
The Shaykh:
It may be that if you remember the prayer and the time, you intend it as a voluntary prayer and complete it, then when you finish, you stand and pray the Maghrib prayer, and then you pray the 'Isha' prayer after it.

So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied.
فَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا وَمِنْ آنَاءِ اللَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَأَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضَىٰThe questioner:
