The traveler praying Maghrib behind a resident with the intention of shortening the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man prayed Maghrib with the congregation, then he entered with the congregation,

The Shaykh:
becomes his son’s wife, so it is not permissible for him, yes.

The questioner:
A traveling man prayed Maghrib with a congregation that was praying Maghrib so that he would pray 'Isha' with them, so he prayed two rak'ahs with them, shortening the prayer, and did not stand for the third, then he said the taslim with them.

The Shaykh:
His prayer is not valid because this imam behind whom he is praying does not shorten; he is praying three for Maghrib, so his prayer is not valid. He is required to complete it. When the imam says the taslim, he stands and performs the fourth rak'ah because he did not pray behind an imam who shortens. Yes.
