The time of the sun's yellowing and delaying the prayer until the end of its time

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: What is the exact time of the sun's yellowing? Is it true that it is fifteen minutes before the Maghrib adhan? And what is the ruling on delaying the prayer until the last moments of its time, before the time expires, without an excuse?

Answer:
When the sun approaches the horizon, dust and darkness rise over it, causing it to turn yellow. This occurs shortly before sunset, unless there is heavy dust, in which case it may turn yellow earlier due to the dust. However, if the sky is clear and there is no dust, the yellowing occurs shortly before sunset. Once the sun sets, the prayer becomes obligatory. There is no harm in delaying it slightly, especially if there is a reason for doing so.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
