How does one who wishes to pray ʿIshāʾ with jamʿ taqdīm (combining and performing earlier) and qaṣr (shortening) pray behind an Imām who is praying Maghrib?

If a traveler prays behind a resident (muqim), he must complete the prayer and not shorten it. If he begins the 'Isha prayer behind an Imam who is praying Maghrib, he completes 'Isha by performing an additional rak'ah after the Imam's salām, and his prayer is valid. It is stated in Al-Majmū' by Al-Nawawī: "If one intends to pray Dhuhr behind someone who is praying Maghrib, whether in residence or travel, shortening the prayer is not permissible, without dispute."
