Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: A traveler prayed Maghrib, then found a congregation praying Maghrib, so he joined them with the intention of praying 'Isha' and wants to shorten the prayer. What should he do?
Answer:
He should not join them, because the Maghrib prayer is not a prayer that is shortened. So he should not join them; he should pray alone or with a congregation of people like him who shorten the prayer.
