Delaying
the 'Ishaa. prayer
Question:
What is the ruling concerning delaying the 'Ishaa. prayer
to a late time?
Response:
The best act with respect to the 'Ishaa. prayer is to delay
it until its last time. Whatever amount it is delayed is better.
This is true except in the case of men. If a man is going
to delay the 'Ishaa. prayer and by so doing is going to miss
performing it in congregation, then it is not allowed for
him to delay it and miss the congregation. As for women in
their homes, the more they delay the 'Ishaa. prayer, the better
for them. However, they cannot delay it beyond half of the
night.
