Is the prayer of the one who prays Maghrib valid if only the disk of the sun remains?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: In the case of one who is not excused, the prayer is not valid, because...

The Shaykh: I beg of you, the question is: if only the disk of the sun remains at sunset, and a person begins to pray, is his prayer valid?! He is not excused!

The questioner: By Allah, this is truly a question that seems to me that if it is, if it is...

The Shaykh: One person is talking!

The questioner: Because I say that its setting has begun, its setting has begun.

The Shaykh: Okay, now say what you have.

The questioner: It seems to me that it is not valid, because...

The Shaykh: It is not valid?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: Do you have an answer? Here.

The questioner: I have no words.

The Shaykh: No, excuse me, hehehe, does anyone have an answer?

The questioner: I say: it is not valid.

The Shaykh: Huh?
The student: It is not valid, because it is not true to say that it has set, so it is not valid.

The Shaykh: May Allah reward you, this is the answer, because, may Allah reward you, the hadith is:
Whoever catches a rak'ah of the 'Asr prayer before it sets مَن أدرك ركعةً من صلاة العصر قبل أن تغرب
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 6:219
, so as long as the disk of the sun is visible, it is not linguistically correct to say: the sun has set, whereas when the disk of the sun rises, it is said, and therefore there is a difference between the loss of the time of the Fajr prayer by the rising of the disk, and the remaining of the time of 'Asr with the remaining of the disk of the sun after, but this is restricted to what you heard:
Catches a rak'ah أدرك ركعة
, and before the entire sun sets, he has caught the prayer.

The questioner: But our Shaykh, he is sinful, our Shaykh, why has he not prayed it until now?

The Shaykh: That is a different discussion, he is sinful even if the entire disk is visible!

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: The discussion now is if the entire disk is visible, he is sinful, and even if it is still raised to the height of this, what do I call it, the sun has turned yellow, then that is the prayer of the hypocrite as it came.

The questioner: The time of the adhan after the adhan!

The Shaykh: No, no, there is a difference.

The questioner: Validating, but the wording, you said: before the Fajr rises, before the sun sets, he caught a rak'ah of 'Asr, you said: he caught a rak'ah of Fajr before the sun sets.

The Shaykh: It is necessary, it is necessary.

The questioner: This was a slip of the tongue.

The Shaykh: Ah, there is a lot of this from you, do not record this on us, hehe.

The questioner: No, no.

The Shaykh : Hehehe.

The questioner: That is not the intention, our Shaykh, because people are listening.

The Shaykh: No problem, those who listen like your story will know that it was a slip of the tongue.
