The End Time Of Maghrib

Question

Please state the entry and exit time of Maghrib.

Answer

Immediately after sunset the time of Maghrib enters.

According to Imaam Abu Hanifa Rahinmahullah, the time of Esha only enters once the whiteness disappears from the horizon. In other words, after sunset there is generally redness in the horizon, which is followed by whiteness. Once the whiteness disappears, the time of Maghrib expires and the time of Esha Salaah enters. This is the preferred view according to Ibn Nujaim Rahimahullah and Ibn Humaam Rahimahullah.

This is generally between one hour fifteen minutes to one and half hour after Maghrib Salaah depending on one’s geographical location.
