Praise be to Allah.
Shaykh `Abd Al-`Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
If she did not pray Maghrib, and she prayed `Isha’ before Maghrib, thinking that the Adhan was for `Isha’, and she forgot to pray Maghrib, then she should repeat it; she should pray Maghrib and then repeat `Isha’, because she prayed `Isha’ at the wrong time, at the time of Maghrib.
But if she had prayed Maghrib when the sun set, then her Maghrib prayer was valid, but she had to repeat `Isha’ because she prayed it before its time.
Prayer offered at the wrong time is not valid, but if she had not prayed Maghrib, she must make up Maghrib then pray `Isha’. (End quote from Fatawa Nur `ala Ad-Darb, 2/728)
