If one prays Maghrib, is it recommended to repeat it a second time with the congregation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Maghrib. Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : It is not recommended to repeat it. Why? They said it is for Maghrib. And Witr is not repeated; Witr is not repeated, but the correct view is that it is recommended to repeat Maghrib, is that so? Due to the generality of the hadith, the hadith of Abu Dharr and the hadith of the two men who missed the Fajr prayer. The correct view is that it is recommended to repeat Maghrib. But if it is repeated, does the one repeating it complete it, or does he perform one rak'ah after the prayer ends to make it even, or does he say the taslim with his imam? We mentioned that the stronger opinion is that he says the taslim with his imam, because this is a repetition of the prayer and not independent. So the correct, chosen view is that he does not make it even with a rak'ah. So we now have three opinions regarding Maghrib: the first is that it is not recommended to repeat it; the second is that it is recommended and he makes it even with a rak'ah; the third is that it is recommended and he does not make it even, and this is the most correct.
