Is delaying the 'Isha' prayer to one-third of the night for mosque congregations or for the individual?

Question:
The questioner says: Is delaying the 'Isha' prayer to one-third of the night general for everyone and mosque congregations, or is it specific to the one who prays it alone?

Answer:
No, the one who prays with people should be lenient with them and not delay it for them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was keen to delay the 'Isha' prayer, but when he saw them gathering, he hastened, peace and blessings be upon him, and prayed with them at the beginning of its time, out of leniency toward them. The imam takes the congregation into consideration. Yes. As for if he prays alone or with a group who prefer delaying, there is no harm in delaying it to one-third of the night or to the middle of the night. Yes.
