The Maghrib prayer behind one who is praying the 'Isha' prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Abu Hisham. We reviewed some of his questions in the previous session. In this question he says: Honorable Shaykh, if a man enters the mosque while traveling and finds them praying the 'Isha' prayer, and he has not yet prayed the Maghrib prayer, so he joins them, and when the imam stands for the fourth rak'ah he sits down, is his action valid?
Answer:
Yes, his action is valid. It is valid to pray Maghrib behind those who are praying 'Isha'. However, when the imam stands for the fourth rak'ah, he does not follow him, because Maghrib is three rak'ahs. Rather, he performs the final tashahhud. Then, if he wishes, he says the taslim for himself, and if he wishes, he waits for the imam to say the taslim so that he says it with him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
