Question:
May Allah reward you with good. From the questions of the brother questioner, he says: I prayed the 'Isha' prayer shortened with a congregation that was praying Maghrib, and I said the closing salam after the first tashahhud, and the imam stood up for the third rak'ah. Is my action permissible? And what is the correct ruling? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
Your action is not permissible; because you are praying behind a prayer that is not shortened, which is Maghrib, and your ruling is the ruling of the imam, you follow him, and you complete the prayer as four rak'ahs. When he says the salam from the third rak'ah, you stand up and you come with the fourth rak'ah in the ruling of the masbuq (one who joins the prayer late). Yes.
