Performing Esha Salaah once the time sets in

· 20 Rajab 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My question is about differing start and finish times for Salaah. The mosques I have near to me have different times for Salaah. For example one mosque start time for esha is 9:30pm and another is 10:20pm. If I usually pray in one mosque can I follow the timing for the other, again as an example I follow the mosque with the 10:20pm start but offer my esha prayer before that as the other mosque clearly starts at 9:30pm. Is this permissible?

Answer

As long as the Esha namaaz time has set in you can follow them.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

When do Fajr and Esha times start and end?

“According to the Mufta-Bihi view that is practiced upon in the Hanafi Madhab, when the Shafi’ee Asr time sets in, the time of Zuhr is still remaining; therefore in principle yes, the Zuhr Salaah will be valid if a Hanafi delays…”
