Maghrib and Isha Qasr
Hi all readers! Are you looking for an explanation about Maghrib and Isha Qasr? If your answer is “Yes”, congratulations! Now you are reading the right article. Why? Because that is what I will explain in this article. As Muslims, we must understand that. That's why I wrote this article. So, you should read it to the end!
Specifically, there are eight important things about Maghrib and Isha Qasr which I will explain in this article. The eight important things I mean are as follows:
Maghrib and Isha Qasr Meaning
The first important thing about Maghrib and Isha Qasr that I will explain now is Maghrib and Isha Qasr meaning. I want you to understand that first before you read more explanations in this article because that is the basic thing in this discussion that must be well understood.
Before I explain Maghrib and Isha Qasr meaning, I will explain the meaning of the word "Qasr". I want you to understand that first because that is the most basic thing in this discussion that must be well understood.
Qasr is a word in Arabic. The writing is قَصْرٌ or القَصْرُ. Grammatically in Arabic, the word comes from the word قَصُرَ يَقْصُر. It means to reduce, shorten, and limit.
So, unfortunately what is meant by Qasr prayer is prayer that is done by reducing the number of rakats. The Qasr prayer is a variant of the plural prayer.
Now, if you ask me "what is the meaning of Maghrib and Isha Qasr?", the answer is to combine Maghrib and Isha by reducing the number of rakats.
That is a brief explanation of Maghrib and Isha Qasr meaning. As Muslims, we must understand that.
How Many Rakats If Maghrib and Isha Combined?
The second important thing about Maghrib and Isha Qasr which I will explain now is "how many rakats if Maghrib and Isha combined?". I want you to understand that now because it is an important question in this discussion that must be well understood.
One important thing I want to make clear before I give you the answer to that question is, that not all the obligatory prayers in Islam can be combined. The combination of obligatory prayers in Islam should not be done arbitrarily.
In Islamic law, the only obligatory prayer that cannot be combined is the Fajr prayer. In other words, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha can be combined. The combination of the four obligatory prayers cannot be done arbitrarily.
In Islamic law, Dhuhr can only be combined with Asr and Maghrib can only be combined with Isha. So, Dhuhr cannot be combined with Maghrib, Asr cannot be combined with Isha, and so on.
The combination of the obligatory prayers in Islam can be done by Jama Taqeem and Jama Takheer. Jama Taqdeem and Jama Takheer can be done by reducing the number of rakats and without reducing the number of rakats. The Jama prayer (Jama Taqdeem and Jama Takheer) which is done by reducing the number of rakats is the Jama Qasr prayer. So, Jama Qasr is one type of Jama prayer.
In Islamic law, not all obligatory prayers combined may be reduced in number of rakat. The obligatory prayer whose number of rakats can be reduced is the obligatory prayer which has four rakats. In Islam, the obligatory prayers that have four rakats are Dhuhr, Asr, and Isha.
Now, if you ask me, "how many rakats if Maghrib and Isha combined?", the answer is three rakats for Maghrib and two rakats (Jama Qasr) or four rakat (regular Jama) for Isha.
That is a brief explanation of "how many rakats if Maghrib and Isha combined?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
How Many Rakats in Maghrib Qasr?
The third important thing about Maghrib and Isha Qasr that I will explain now is “how many rakats in Maghrib Qasr?”. I want you to understand that now because that is another important question in this discussion that must be well understood.
In the previous few paragraphs, I have explained that the Qasr prayer is an obligatory prayer that is performed by reducing the number of rakat. I have also explained that the rakats of the obligatory prayers that can be reduced are those that have four rakats. Maghrib only has three rakats.
So, you ask me, "how many rakats in Maghrib Qasr?", the answer is "Three rakats in Maghrib Qasr." The reason is because Maghrib only has three rakats.
That's a brief explanation of "how many rakats in Maghrib Qasr?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
How Many Rakats in Isha Qasr?
The fourth important thing about Maghrib and Isha Qasr which I will explain now is "how many rakats in Isha Qasr?". I want you to understand that now because it is an important question in this discussion that must be well understood.
In the previous paragraphs, I have explained that the obligatory prayer that can be reduced in the number of rakats is the obligatory prayer that has four rakats. Isha has four rakats.
Now, if you ask me, "how many rakats in Isha Qasr?", the answer is "two rakat in Isha Qasr".
That's a brief explanation of "how many rakats in Isha Qasr?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
How to Pray Maghrib Qasr?
The fifth important thing about Maghrib and Isha Qasr which I will explain now is "how to pray Maghrib Qasr?". I want you to understand that now because it is an important question in this discussion that must be well understood.
Not much is different if you are going to do the regular Maghrib prayer and the Qasr Maghrib prayer. You have to perform all the obligations in prayer, such as purifying the body from minor and major hadas, standing up, facing Qibla, reciting surah al-Fatihah and so on. The difference is the time and intention for Maghrib Qasr prayer.
If you want to do Maghrib Qasr prayer with Jama Taqdeem, you have to do it at Maghrib time. But if you want to do Maghrib Qasr prayer with Jama Takheer, you have to do it at Isha time.
One important thing that you must remember is that the number of Maghrib rakats cannot be reduced. So, you must always perform the Maghrib prayer with three raka.
That is a brief explanation of "how to pray Maghrib Qasr?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
How to Pray Isha Qasr?
The sixth important thing about Maghrib and Isha Qasr which I will explain now is "how to pray Isha Qasr?". I want you to understand that now because it is an important question in this discussion that must be well understood.
Not much is different if you are going to do the regular Isha prayer and the Isha Qasr prayer. You have to perform all the obligations in prayer, such as purifying the body from minor and major hadas, standing up, facing Qibla, reciting surah al-Fatihah and so on. The difference is the time and intention for the Isha Qasr prayer.
If you want to perform the Isha Qasr prayer with Jama Taqdeem, you have to do it at Maghrib time. But if you want to do Isha Qasr prayer with Jama Takheer, you have to do it at Isha time.
One important thing that you must remember is that the number of Isha's rakat can be reduced. So, if you want to perform the Isha Qasr prayer, you can do it with two rakats. But if you want to do it with a regular Jama, you can do it with four rakats.
That is a brief explanation of "how to pray Isha Qasr?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
Niyat for Maghrib Qasr
The seventh important thing about Maghrib and Isha Qasr which I will explain now is niyat for Maghrib Qasr. I want you to understand that now because it is one of the important things in this discussion that must be well understood.
The niyat for Maghrib Qasr if you do it with Jama Taqdeem and alone is as follows:
أُصَلِّى فَرْضَ الْمَغْرِبِ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ مَجْمُوْعًا الْعِشَاءِ جَمْعَ تَقْدِيْمٍ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى
I intend to perform the Maghrib prayer, three rakats, by combining the Isha prayer, performed with Jama Taqdeem, because of Allah Taala.
The niyat for Maghrib Qasr if you do it with Jama Takheer and alone is as follows:
أُصَلِّى فَرْضَ الْمَغْرِبِ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ مَجْمُوْعًا الْعِشَاءِ جَمْعَ تَأْخِيْرٍ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى
