Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you with truthfulness. Yesterday we joined the imam in the 'Isha' prayer with the intention of Maghrib. After he stood for the fourth rak'ah, we sat for the final tashahhud, then we said the taslim and stood up. We joined him in the fourth rak'ah before his ruku' in the 'Isha' prayer. Is the prayer valid in this case?
Answer:
It is valid with regard to Maghrib, but the rak'ah you added to 'Isha' is not valid. It is not permissible to divide a prayer between two prayers, dividing one prayer between two prayers, the Maghrib prayer and the 'Isha' prayer.
