The questioner : The traveling man knows that that imam is praying the 'Isha' prayer.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : And he has delayed the Maghrib prayer, so he joins the congregation; does he join them with the intention of Maghrib?
The Shaykh : Of course, it is not permissible to delay the Maghrib prayer until after the 'Isha' prayer. Rather, he should follow him, and then intend to separate—as I said just now—when the imam stands up for the fourth rak'ah.
