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.

“According to the Mufta-Bihi view that is practiced upon in the Hanafi Madhab, when the Shafi’ee Asr time sets in, the time of Zuhr is still remaining; therefore in principle yes, the Zuhr Salaah will be valid if a Hanafi delays…”
