I would like to know until what time I Isha salaat valid? Can we pray anytime before we sleep or should we pray before 12

Answer

The time for Esha Salaat commences after the disappearance of the twilight and remains until before the break of dawn.

It is advisable to delay the Esha Salaat until one third of the night, permissible to delay until half the night and disliked thereafter without any valid reason in Shari?ah. Males should always perform their Salaat in congregation.
