When can i pray magrib salah?
Question
Assalamualaikum,
I want to know the actual end time of Magrib salah.I belong to Hyderabad where the sunset is at 6:54PM and Ishan starts at 8:05PM.Can I offer Magrib salah before 8:05PM? Will my salah be accepeted if I offer just before 8:05PM?
Hoping you to reply as soon as possible.
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
In principle Salah must not be delayed until the last minute.
The time for Magrib Salah commences immediately after sunset and extends until the whiteness [white twilight] remains in the sky. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
If you pray your Magrib Salah before the Esha time sets in, your Magrib will be valid. In the inquired situation, if Esha time sets in at 8:05 pm, Magrib Salah can be performed for example till 8:04pm.
However, it is Makrooh[disliked] to delay Salah unnecessarily until the last moment. [6]
You may follow the perpetual Salah timetable of your area.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
