The answer

The Maghrib prayer is valid when performed behind someone praying Isha in a shortened form, due to the difference in intention between the Imam and the follower. However, praying Isha in a shortened form behind someone praying Maghrib is not valid; one must complete it as four rak'ahs, and it must be re-offered. If the journey allows for shortening the prayer, the Friday prayer is not obligatory, and the Dhuhr prayer is valid in its place. If the journey does not reach the distance for shortening the prayer, it is disliked to leave the village where the Friday prayer is established before its time, and it is forbidden after its time unless one expects to catch it on the way. In both cases, the Dhuhr prayer as a substitute for Jumu'ah is valid.
