Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Usamah from al-Ta'if is with us on the line. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. And upon you be peace. I have three things. Move away from the television a little, Usamah, go ahead. I have three things. Go ahead. The first question is: What is the ruling on delaying the 'Isha' prayer until one-third of the night, knowing that I am in a remote area where there is no adhan and no congregation? Okay, the Shaykh will answer in a moment.
Answer:
Yes, if you are with a group that is praying, pray with them and do not delay it. But if you are praying alone and you are confident that you will not sleep through it or forget it, then delay it until one-third of the night if you wish. Yes.
