Praying behind an imam who completes the prayer while the traveler shortens it to two rak'ahs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
There is a shaykh who said: A man traveled and prayed Maghrib with a congregation, then he entered with a congregation

The Shaykh:
becomes his son’s wife, so it is not permissible for him, yes.

The questioner:
Ibn Mubasir prayed Maghrib with a congregation, and he entered with a congregation who were praying Maghrib so he would pray 'Isha with them. He prayed two rak'ahs with them, shortening the prayer, and did not stand for the third, then he said the taslim with them.

The Shaykh:
His prayer is not valid, because this imam behind whom he is praying does not shorten; he is praying three for Maghrib. So his prayer is not valid. He is required to complete it. When the imam says the taslim, he stands and performs the fourth rak'ah, because he did not pray behind an imam who shortens. Yes.
