The duration of the sun's transit during which prayer is prohibited

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. How long is the period of the sun’s setting during which it is forbidden to pray, O Shaykh?

Answer:
It is the time that is not sufficient for a prayer, meaning when the sun is level with the heads, it is not sufficient for a prayer. However, one does not enter into prayer when the sun is at the zenith of the sky, above the heads. One does not enter into prayer; rather, one delays it until the sun sets toward the west. This is indicated by the shadow appearing from the east. Yes.
