The traveler praying 'Isha' behind one who is praying Maghrib
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A traveler who had missed the obligatory 'Isha' prayer came and found a group praying Maghrib.
The Shaykh:
He prays Maghrib with them, and when they finish, he adds a fourth rak'ah. Yes.
The questioner:
And he does not shorten the prayer.
The Shaykh:
Yes, he does not shorten the prayer. Yes.
The questioner:
He sits.
The Shaykh:
No, he does not sit; it is included, for when you sell faith, it must be completed, so do not differ with him.
The questioner:
Meaning, he is not allowed to sit until he has said the taslim.
The Shaykh:
He does not complete the prayer with them, nor does he pray with them.
The questioner:
I say, if he missed, may Allah reward you, one rak'ah of Maghrib, does he complete it as four?
The Shaykh:
Yes, because the prayer of the ma'mum behind the imam who is resident must be four if he followed the resident imam.
The questioner:
But, may Allah reward you, these people are praying while they are travelers. They are praying Maghrib, and he came as a traveler too and joined them, and he intended 'Isha'.
The Shaykh:
Or, if he prays Maghrib with them only, he says the taslim with them for Maghrib, which is a voluntary prayer for him, then he prays his prayer, which is Maghrib and 'Isha'.
The questioner:
He, may Allah reward you, has already prayed Maghrib.
The Shaykh:
He prays 'Isha' alone; he does not pray Maghrib with them as a precaution. Yes.
The questioner:
This is one case.
The Shaykh:
He prays 'Isha' alone and does not pray Maghrib with them; he completes it by praying four, says the taslim, and adds his fourth. As for praying two and saying the taslim, no.
Another questioner:
If he were praying Maghrib and 'Isha' and sat in the third rak'ah to complete the fourth, why is there a distinction there? If he were praying Maghrib and 'Isha', he would pray three, then sit in the third to complete the fourth.
The Shaykh:
If he prays, may Allah have mercy on him, in Maghrib, there is no harm in sitting.
Another questioner:
The scene.
The Shaykh:
In Maghrib, when they say the taslim, he says the taslim, then he prays 'Isha' after that. Yes.
Another questioner:
He prayed Maghrib and 'Isha'.
The Shaykh:
That he sits in the third.
Another questioner:
It is fine until.
The Shaykh:
He says the taslim, because he is not praying 'Isha' with them; he is praying Maghrib with them. Yes. Yes. Yes.
