Question:
This questioner is inquiring about the hadith:Sahih Ibn Hibban 9:98 What is the authenticity of this hadith?
Answer:
The hadith is authentic, and the Sunnah is to delay it if they do not gather; this is the best. However, if they gather, it does not cause them hardship, so it is hastened. This was the practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When they gathered for Isha, he would hasten it, and if they were delayed, he would delay it, (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
