Q: If we are travelling, and we pass by a Masjid (mosque) at the time of Maghrib (Sunset) Prayer and we offer Maghrib Prayer with the congregation in the Masjid, then directly after Taslim (salutation of peace ending the Prayer) we stand up to offer ‘Isha’ (Night) Prayer as two Rak‘ahs,
but we find another congregation who are about to offer Maghrib Prayer; is it Mustahab (desirable) that we offer ‘Isha’ Prayer while shortening it alone, or that we join the second congregation?
A:
You should offer ‘Isha’ Prayer alone as long as you are travelling and you are to shorten the Salah (Prayer). You should not perform it behind those who are offering Maghrib Prayer. (Part No. 6; Page No. 436) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
