Question:
A while back I mentioned reading a piece from Shaykh Nuh Keller,where he stated that for Shafis Isha prayer should not be offered later than 40-70 minutes directly after Maghrib. (I know that Isha is the same for Maliki fiqh. Is 50 or 60 minutes directly after Maghrib salaat ok?
Jazakullah khair Sidi.
Answer:
The last position of Imam al-Shafi`i leaves very little time for Maghrib so it is safest to pray it as early as possible, certainly within the 40-minute limit.
