When is the last time for the 'Isha' prayer?

Question:
Some scholars say: The last time for 'Isha' is the middle of the night, and they cite the hadith of the prayer times as evidence. Some of them say: What is after the middle of the night is a time of dire necessity. That is to say: there is no making up of a missed act of worship. If this is the stronger position, what is the evidence for it? If the last opinion is the stronger one.

Answer:
As for the middle of the night, it is based on the well-known hadith of 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr, narrated by Muslim. As for the rest of the night, it is a time of dire necessity, just as the time after the sun turns yellow and after the 'Asr prayer is a time of dire necessity; due to the hadith: , "Indeed, negligence is delaying the prayer until the time of the next prayer enters." This indicates that the time extends, extending until the time of the next prayer, except for Fajr; for there is nothing after it, so its time extends until the sunrise. As for the others, their time extends until the time of the next prayer.
