The ruling on praying the 'Isha' prayer behind someone who is praying the Maghrib prayer with shortening
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And I traveled with a group of Muslims who were praying, and I was in a state of hope that they had traveled. I prayed with them and realized that I had completed the prayer or that my action was this.
Answer:
This is not valid. First, praying the 'Isha' prayer behind someone praying the Maghrib prayer has a major issue. Should one not pray the 'Isha' prayer behind someone who is praying the Maghrib? Because the two prayers differ in their characteristics; the Maghrib is three units, while this one is four with the witr. Second, if a resident prays with a traveler, the resident must complete the prayer, and you shortened it. You prayed behind a resident who is not permitted to shorten the prayer, and you shortened it, so it is not permissible for you to shorten it. Therefore, you must repeat the 'Isha' prayer.
