Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a traveler prays Maghrib with a congregation and wants to combine 'Isha', and he finds a second congregation praying Maghrib, does he join them?
Answer:
He joins them with the intention of 'Isha' while they are praying Maghrib; there is no impediment. When they finish and stand up, he responds to the fourth rak'ah; there is no impediment. However, it is better not to do this, because it involves a difference in intention and a difference from the imam.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
