Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: A person is late before Maghrib, then he finds a congregation praying Maghrib, so he joins them with the intention of 'Isha', and he wants to shorten the prayer. How should he proceed?
Answer:
He does not join them. He does not join them, because the Maghrib prayer is not a prayer that is shortened, so he does not join them. He prays alone, or with the Muslim congregation who are breaking their fast.
