The traveler shortening the prayer when praying behind a resident

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A traveling man prayed behind a resident, and the traveler is about to pray 'Isha', while the resident is praying Maghrib. Is it permissible for the traveler to shorten the prayer?

Answer:
No. If the traveler prays behind a resident, he must complete the prayer, whether it is Maghrib or any other, because he is praying behind a resident and not behind a traveler, and his ruling is the ruling of the imam.
