Delaying Isha Salaah
Question
Is it ok to sleep before esha and then wake up and perform Isha before the morning? Is it right to perform Isha at 1 o'clock?
Answer
The time of esha ends at subah saadiq. If the esha Salaah was performed before subah saadiq, the Salaah will be valid. However it is makrooh to delay the esha till after half the night.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
