With ref. to Q6042, Isha and Fajr times further up North of London are 11 pm and 3 am respectively. The old and the young have a tough time staying up late and getting up early.
Question
Any suggestions (other than moving out of here)? Can they during the summer, pray Isha? after a defined interval after Maghrib and go to bed, in these higher latitudes?
Answer
Performing the Isha Salaah any time before 11 PM will never be valid according to all four math-habs.
We have one suggestion, and this applies specifically to the young, old and weak. They may delay their Isha to until a few minutes before 3 AM (Subh Saadiq). Then can wait a few minutes and perform Fajr after 3 AM. In this way they only have to get up once.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
