Delaying the 'Isha' Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his next question, a man says: A man delays the 'Isha' prayer until nine o'clock without an excuse. What is the ruling on his action?
Answer:
If he is praying alone, has no congregation, and has not abandoned the congregation, then there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, delaying it until a third of the night is better, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 638c. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

This is the proper time for it; were it not that I would impose a burden on my people
