The questioner : In the question of one of the brothers, he says that he traveled from one town to another, and the time of departure was before Maghrib. He arrived at the destination town and the time for 'Isha' had entered. Of course, he had not prayed Maghrib. He entered the town and saw the people praying 'Isha'. Should he pray 'Isha' with them, or...
The Shaykh : ...Maghrib.
The questioner : Okay, does he say the closing salam before the imam?
The Shaykh : If he catches the first rak'ah of the 'Isha' prayer, when the imam stands up for the fourth rak'ah and intends to separate, he should sit, be patient, and lean back, and he will start behind the imam in the 'Isha' prayer.
The questioner : Okay, is this reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), or...
The Shaykh : It is necessary that it be reported. We must not do anything that is not reported, neither this way nor that way, but this is the fiqh.
The questioner : So he prays Maghrib, then he prays 'Isha'.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The Shaykh : ...Maghrib.
