What is the ruling regarding the ma'mum who prays Maghrib behind the imam of 'Isha'? When he leaves, does he say the taslim or wait for the imam's taslim?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We return to a simple question regarding the ma'mum: does he pray 'Isha behind [the imam], or does he pray Maghrib behind the imam of 'Isha?
The Shaykh : Maghrib behind.
The questioner : The imam of 'Isha.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : So when he leaves, does he say the taslim or wait for the imam's taslim?
The Shaykh : No, he says the taslim, because he is leaving the imam.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This has a basis in the Sunnah.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) approved.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : I mean by that the story of that Ansari.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Who followed Mu'adh.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Then he cut off the prayer, do you remember it?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : But for him to remain sitting and not follow the imam in his standing, bowing, and prostration, there is no precedent for that.
The questioner : So it has no basis.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Therefore, the first option is better, or it is obligatory.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And may Allah protect you, if Allah wills.
The questioner : ... It is not done.
The Shaykh : Maghrib behind.
The questioner : The imam of 'Isha.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : So when he leaves, does he say the taslim or wait for the imam's taslim?
The Shaykh : No, he says the taslim, because he is leaving the imam.
