Ruling on joining a group that combines the two prayers in the second prayer

Question
A person entered the mosque and found them combining Maghrib and Isha, should he pray Isha with them?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible to combine prayers except under difficult conditions according to some schools of thought, and the Isha prayer is not valid unless the Maghrib prayer is performed, and God knows best.
