Question

Is it true that the times span for Maghrib is only 20-25 minutes after the adhan?

I follow this ruling, and so I usually start praying Maghrib right after the adhan. I've read in a few places that Maghrib must be read in the first 20 minutes, otherwise, its counted as a a qadha, even if its not time for Isha yet. Is this correct?

Answer:

Bismillฤhi Taสฟala,

Waสฟlaikum Assalฤm Waraแธฅmatullฤh,

The time for Maghrib starts as soon as the sun sets (disappears) into the horizon. According to Hanafฤซ Madhab, time for Maghrib remains until Ishฤ’ time. There is difference of opinion in the madhab about the time when Ishฤ’ sets in, however the more cautious position of the madhab is that Maghrib ends with the disappearance of white twilight. This is also the time when ishฤ’ sets in.[1]

It is mustahab (desirable) to pray one’s Maghrib in its early time. Delaying ones Maghrib Salah to the extent that the stars become visible without any reasonable excuse is Makrลซh.[2]
