What should I do if I join the 'Isha' prayer in congregation from the first rak'ah, but I haven't prayed the Maghrib prayer yet?

If someone misses Maghrib prayer until the Isha prayer is called, they have two options: They may join the congregation with the intention of praying Maghrib. When the third rak'ah is completed, they should wait until the Imam sits after the fourth rak'ah, recites the , and makes the salutation. Then, they should pray Isha. Alternatively, they may pray Isha with the congregation, and then make up the Maghrib prayer only, without repeating Isha.
