Delaying the 'Isha' prayer for one who prays alone or with a group who are content with the delay

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I heard the Shaykh. It was possible for him to be opposed.

Answer:
Whoever prays alone, or whoever used to pray alone, or has a group with him who are content with the delay, there is no harm in that. That is, he acts according to the Sunnah and delays the prayer in order to revive the Sunnah and act upon it, if he is alone or if there are people praying with him who are content with the delay. We are in agreement on this; there is no obstacle. Yes. What if others are connected to them? What do you say? We and ten people in the mosque agree, yes, to delay the prayer, and the rest of the people remain with them? No, that is not permissible if they become isolated, meaning those who agreed did so in isolation, with no one else with them, or they do not delay. Yes.
