The ruling on delaying the 'Isha' prayer until one-third of the night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on my delaying the 'Isha' prayer until one-third of the night?
Answer:
If he is praying alone or with a group that desires this, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if the group does not desire this and wants to sleep, rest, have dinner, or do something similar, it is not permissible for you to delay it to make things difficult for them. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) loved for it to be delayed until one-third of the night, but when they gathered, he hastened the prayer out of consideration for them. Yes.
