Ruling on shortening the Maghrib prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling for one who prayed Maghrib with two rak'ahs at Muzdalifah?
Answer:
He must repeat it. If he prays Maghrib with two rak'ahs, it is not permissible, because it is not shortened by the consensus of the Muslims. So he must repeat it, and then repeat 'Isha' with it, because 'Isha' is not valid except after Maghrib. So he must repeat it with three rak'ahs, and then repeat 'Isha'.
