The Time of the Maghrib Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
It is said that some of the worshippers delay performing the Maghrib prayer until I believe the time has passed. What do you advise me and the listeners regarding the Maghrib prayer specifically? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: The time for the Maghrib prayer is known; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) specified it as the period between the setting of the sun and the setting of the twilight, which is the redness in the western direction. This is the time for Maghrib, and it is a time that is not too short, extending from the setting of the sun to the setting of the red twilight in the western direction.
It is best to pray it at the beginning of the time; this is the best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray it at the beginning of the time. When the adhan was called, the people would pray two rak'ahs, and then he would order the iqamah (peace and blessings be upon him). So there is only a little time between the iqamah for Maghrib and the adhan, which is the time it takes for Muslims to pray those two rak'ahs.
In the authentic hadith, he said: This indicates that one should pray between the adhan and the iqamah. However, it is best not to prolong it, but rather to establish the iqamah after a short period following the adhan, such as ten minutes, eight minutes, or something similar. Even if one delays it by half an hour or more before the twilight sets, there is no blame; the prayer is valid, as the entire period is the time for it. But it is best to pray in the mosques. For Muslims in their homes, the sick, and women, it is best for all of them to hasten, following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

In the authentic hadith, he said:
Pray before Maghrib, pray before Maghrib—meaning: before the prayer, meaning before the obligatory prayer—then he said in the third instance: for whoever wishes.
