Praying Two Rak'ahs Before the Maghrib Adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The times when prayer is prohibited. Honorable Shaykh, if the time for prayer enters before Maghrib and before the Maghrib adhan, do I sit or do I pray two rak'ahs?

Answer:
You say "before," meaning close to the adhan. You stand until the adhan is called, following the mu'adhdhin. When he finishes the adhan, you perform the two rak'ahs. Yes. Hello. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pray before Maghrib, pray before Maghrib, pray before Maghrib." In the third instance, he said: "For whoever wishes." Yes.
