Delaying the Maghrib Salaah
Question
A radio station broadcasts Surah Waaqiya immediately after the Magrib Azaan. Is it permissible to delay performing the Maghrib salaah by about seven minutes and listen to the recitation of the Surah first?
Answer
The sunnah is to commence the Maghrib Salaah immediately. This is not in keeping with the Sunnah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
