THE TIME OF NOON AND EVENING PRAYERS

[Bararthani]

Question:
1) If someone intentionally or unintentionally does not pray the noon and evening prayers until sunset, is it necessary for him to pray after sunset without the intention of qadha or is it not necessary to pray until the maghrib call to prayer, but should he pray qadha whenever he wants?
2) If someone unintentionally does not perform the Maghrib and Isha prayers until midnight, will his Maghrib and Isha prayers be performed in time until the morning prayer?

Answer: 1. For a person who knows the time of sunset, it is an obligatory precaution not to delay the noon and evening prayers until the sun goes down and the sun sets, and if there is a delay, he should pray it without the intention of in time (Ada') or qadha, in the time interval between sunset and maghrib;

But whoever doubts the sunset and believes that the sun is hidden behind mountains, buildings, or trees, there is still time for him as long as the redness in the sky is visible in the east and has not disappeared.

2. The time for Maghrib and Isha prayers for a person in a normal situation (not in an emergency) continues until midnight but for a person in an emergency, i.e. someone who has not prayed before midnight due to forgetfulness or due to staying asleep or menstruation and the like, the time for Maghrib and Isha prayers continue until Fajr (morning prayer time);

But in any case, in case of paying attention and not being negligent, the order between the two is necessary, that is, the Maghrib prayer must be performed first, then the Isha prayer, and if the Isha prayer is intentionally performed before the Maghrib prayer, it is invalid; unless there is not more than the amount of time left to perform the Isha prayer; In this case, it is necessary to pray the Isha prayer before the Maghrib prayer.
