When does the time for the 'Isha' prayer end
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Does the time for the 'Isha' prayer end when the middle of the night arrives?
Answer: Yes, when the night is half over, the time for 'Isha' ends by the explicit statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The time of dire necessity remains, just as the time of dire necessity remains after the sun turns yellow in the 'Asr prayer. If one prays it after the middle of the night, it is within the time, but with sin, with sin if he delayed it intentionally. As for if he was forgetful, he owes nothing.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and until when does the time of dire necessity extend, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh: Until the appearance of the dawn.
The presenter: Until the appearance of the dawn.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The presenter: So if one prays at one in the night, or at two in the night, he has prayed in the time of dire necessity?
The Shaykh: Yes, everything that is after the middle of the night is the time of dire necessity, and he is not to delay it; it is not permissible for him to delay it; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 612b (peace and blessings be upon him).
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He benefit us with your knowledge.
