Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman asking. She says: Honorable Shaykh, we women ask about the specific time between Maghrib and 'Isha, because some women may delay the prayer. Is it one hour, or an hour and a half, or until the 'Isha adhan? Please give us a ruling, and may Allah reward you.

Answer:
The time between Maghrib and 'Isha is known by calculation. Maghrib is at the setting of the sun, and 'Isha is at the setting of the red twilight. A man prays with the Muslims in congregation. As for a woman, she prays when the time enters, and if she delays it, there is nothing wrong with that, according to her time. But she must not pray before the time. Yes.
