When is it permissible to combine prayers? If I prayed Maghrib at 6:00pm and the time for Isha is at 7pm, is it permissible to pray Isha earlier, once we are done with Maghrib?

Zoheir Ali Esmail

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. According to the school of Ahl al-Bayt (as) there is no problem with combining the zuhr and asr prayers in that sequence (one prayer immediately after the other or with any time gap between) after the time of zuhr has set in without any specific reason. Similarly there is no problem with combining magrib and isha prayers after the time of magrib. So there is no problem praying isha prayer after magrib prayer and before 7pm.

May you always be successful.

What is the correct timing for the Shi'a Maghrib prayer and is it permissible to pray at the Sunni timing?

Seyed Ali Musawi

Salaam Allaikum,

There may be some slight differences between the marajah, so it is important to check this with your specific Marja, but in general, the time of maghrib begins when the redness in the Eastern sky has dissipated.

Oftentimes, people think maghrib is when the redness of the western sky (where the sun sets) has dissipated but this is actually not the case and Maghrib occurs a bit earlier than this....

I would like to add that it is indeed recommended to perform one's prayer before breaking their fast, unless there is someone else waiting for them to break their fast, in which case it would be recommended to break fast with them, and then pray.

And Allah knows best.

Sayyed Muhammad Husaini Ragheb

Yes it is Mustahab(recommended) unless one is very weak, then it's better to do Iftar and pray afterwards
