Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If we are traveling and we want to combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers, and we arrive at the time of 'Isha' and find a congregation praying the 'Isha' prayer, knowing that they are residents and will pray four rak'ahs, how do we pray with them, since they will pray four while we pray three?
Answer:
For the one who has the Maghrib prayer due, it is permissible to pray it behind one who is praying 'Isha' according to a group of scholars. He sits in the third rak'ah and follows the imam. If he wishes, he says the taslim for himself and performs the final tashahhud, then says the taslim for himself. Or if he wishes, he waits until the imam says the taslim, and then he says the taslim with him. This is the ruling issued by some contemporary scholars. Yes.
