The Times of Prayer and the End of the Time for Maghrib

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner also asks: Is there a specific end time for the Maghrib prayer, defined in minutes?

Answer:
The Maghrib prayer is one of the prayers that have clearly defined markers; it is not permissible to extend it by a minute or an hour. These are clear, cosmic markers. Fajr is from the appearance of the second dawn until the sunrise; this is the time for the Fajr prayer. Zuhr is from the sun passing its zenith in the sky until the shadow of an object becomes equal to its height; when the shadow of a tall object becomes equal to it, then the time for 'Asr begins. It continues until the shadow of an object becomes twice the length of the preferred time. The time of necessity continues until sunset. Maghrib is from the sunset until the disappearance of the red twilight; until the disappearance of the red twilight; this is the time for Maghrib. 'Isha' is from the disappearance of the red twilight until one-third of the night is the preferred time, and the time of necessity is until the appearance of the dawn.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
