Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My Shaykh, may Allah bless you, some people, when they combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers, pray 'Isha' first and then Maghrib.
The Shaykh : Who are these people?
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh, I have seen them with my own eyes, by Allah.
The Shaykh : You have seen them? When they combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers, they give priority to 'Isha'. Where is this?
The questioner : They come from other countries and say: "The time for Maghrib has passed, so we will pray 'Isha' first because its time is still remaining, and then we will pray Maghrib."
The Shaykh : This is a mistake and it is not permissible for them to do this. Inform them that they must now repeat the 'Isha' prayer. Do you know them?
The questioner : Yes, but they do not accept this, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No, my Shaykh, may Allah guide you. Advise them with what is good, and praise be to Allah. Tell them: This is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give priority to Maghrib. Yes, ... The hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to hasten the Fajr prayer on the morning of the Day of Arafah at Muzdalifah. He hastened it in order to allow sufficient time for dhikr and du'a', because the time between the Fajr prayer and the people's departure to Mina is a place for dhikr and du'a'. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to hasten the prayer in order to expand the time.
