The Times of the Five Daily Prayers

Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner also asks: Is there a specific time limit for the Maghrib prayer, defined in minutes?

Answer:
The Maghrib prayer, like the other prayers, is defined by clear signs. It does not require minutes or hours, but clear cosmic signs. Fajr is from the appearance of the second dawn until the sunrise; all of this is the time for the Fajr prayer. Zuhr is from the sun passing the zenith of the sky until the shadow of an object becomes equal to its height, at which point the time for 'Asr begins.
The preferred time continues until the shadow of an object becomes twice its height, and the time of necessity continues until sunset. Maghrib is from the setting of the sun until the disappearance of the red twilight; until the disappearance of the red twilight, this is the time for Maghrib. 'Isha' is from the disappearance of the red twilight until one-third of the night for the preferred time, and the time of necessity continues until the appearance of the dawn. These are clear signs that do not require calculation.
