Question:
This is also Abu Sa'd asking via Twitter, and he says: I was traveling and entered the mosque and found a congregation praying, so I prayed Maghrib with them. After I finished the prayer, I found another congregation and joined them, and it turned out they were praying Maghrib. After the imam said the closing salam, I stood up and performed the fourth rak'ah. Is my action correct? Please give us a ruling, and may you be rewarded.
Answer:
Yes, your action is correct in both cases. You prayed Maghrib with one congregation, and you prayed 'Isha' with another congregation, and you combined the two prayers. It is permissible for you to combine them because you are a traveler, so there is no harm in that. Yes.
