Question:
This questioner, Wadi', says: A man missed the Maghrib prayer due to some circumstance. Then the time for 'Isha' arrived, and he joined the imam in prayer with the intention of Maghrib. He then said the taslim in the third rak'ah and joined the imam for the 'Isha' prayer while he was in the fourth rak'ah, with the intention of the 'Isha' prayer.
Answer:
As for the Maghrib, it is valid. As for his joining the imam in the fourth rak'ah and counting it as part of the 'Isha' prayer, this is not valid, and it is not permissible to divide one obligatory prayer between two prayers. Yes.
