When does the time of Esha finish

· 1 Rabiʻ I 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it impermissible to perform Esha salaah in the early morning before fajr has come in? What time frame exactly does one have to pray esha before it is considered a missed salaah?

Answer

The time of esha remains till the time of subah saadiq. Once subah saadiq (fajr time) comes in, the esha salaah will be qadha.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
