Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
When does the time for maghrib expire? Is it when Isha comes in?
Answer:
Assalamu alaikum,
Maghrib time ends when Isha time comes in. However, it is disliked to unduly delay Maghrib prayer (within its time) without a genuine excuse, because the sunna of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was to perform Maghrib prayer after the time entered, without delay. [Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah; Ibn al-Humam/Marhinani, Fath al-Qadir `ala al-Hidaya]
