Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This is for the recording, may Allah reward you.
The questioner : All right, O Shaykh, if a person enters the mosque and finds a congregation praying Maghrib, and he has not yet prayed 'Asr, does he join them with the intention of 'Asr, or does he pray Maghrib and then pray 'Asr?
The Shaykh : Or does he pray 'Asr and then Maghrib?
He joins them with the intention of 'Asr, because the stronger position is that a difference in intention between the imam and the one praying behind him does not affect the validity. So he joins with the intention of 'Asr, and when the imam concludes the Maghrib prayer, he stands and performs the fourth rak'ah if he joined the imam at the beginning of the prayer. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
