*Praying Asr behind an Imam Praying Maghrib:*
It is not permissible to observe ‘Asr prayer behind an Imam observing Maghrib prayer; rather one should pray Maghrib with that particular Imam, then pray ‘Asr afterward, as agreed upon by all leading scholars and he does not have to repeat the Maghrib prayer after praying ‘Asr according to the most correct opinion.
Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taimiyyah said that he should pray Maghrib with the Imam, then pray ‘Asr afterward, as agreed upon by all leading scholars. He does not have to repeat Maghrib.....This is the saying of Ibn Abbas, the Shafi’i madhab. This is more correct (amongst all opinions on this), for Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) did not make it obligatory on the person to pray a swalaat twice if he has feared Allah as much as he can [Allah knows best]). 📚(From the book ‘What Should You Do in the Following Situations… ?’ by Majmooa Fatawi Ibn Taimiyyah)
*Praying Zuhr behind imam or someone praying Asr:*
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: if a person has missed a prayer, such as Zuhr, then he remembers it when the iqaamah for ‘Asr prayer has been given, what should he do? He replied: What is prescribed for such a person is that he should pray with the current jamaa’ah (congregation), but with the intention of praying Zuhr, then he should pray ‘Asr after that, because it is obligatory to pray the prayers in the correct order, and that obligation is not to be ignored for fear of missing the prayer in congregation.
Elsewhere, he (the sheikh) said: the difference of intention between the imam and the one who is praying behind him does not matter, according to the correct scholarly view.
