If a traveler enters with the intention of praying Maghrib with those who are praying 'Isha', then he testifies and says the closing salam, and he misses the last rak'ah of the 'Isha prayer

The questioner : May Allah forgive your sin, you and the listeners. For example, I read the tashahhud, meaning I did not catch up to the congregational prayer to complete the question of the brother who asked. I mean, I prayed Maghrib and read the tashahhud and said the salam, but there was one rak'ah left that I did not catch up to. I did not catch up to the rak'ah, I did not catch up to say the salam with them. Do I pray the 'Isha prayer alone by myself?

The Shaykh : If you have someone with you and you want to pray the congregational prayer from the beginning, then yes. And if you do not have anyone with you, enter with them, even if it is during the tashahhud, because catching up with part of the prayer is better than missing it entirely. Did you hear? I said, did you understand now?

The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : The one after him.
