Q:
One rainy night, we offered Maghrib (Sunset) Prayer only uncombined with `Isha' (Night) Prayer. However, I heard people in a nearby Masjid (mosque) combining Maghrib and `Isha' Prayers. Therefore, I went to that Masjid and offered `Isha' with them.
What is the ruling on this action of mine?
A:
You should re-perform the `Isha' Prayer which you offered in a Masjid other than the one in which you offered Maghrib Prayer. In such a case, combining the two Salahs (Prayers) was not materialized due to the long interval that separated them. Actually, close sequence without interruption is a condition for the validity of combining two Salahs at the time of the earlier.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
