- Ishaa in our city currently starts at 10.26 whereas in local masjid Ishaa jamat time is 10.15, this gap will be increasing now, so we should be offering salah with jamat or delay as per actual Ishaa time.
- As Ishaa is getting late and have to go to work early morning, is there any provision where Ishaa can be offered with Magrib or before Ishaa starts.
Bismillahi Ta’ala
Walaikum Assalam Warahmatullah,
1. There is a deeper understanding of differences in calculations for the Isha’ Salah in higher latitudes during summer time. ilmHub calculates these times according to our fiqhi position outlined in our calendars for Edmonton and Calgary.
Due to the fact that there is abnormality involved in such areas, we maintain that differences could occur and unless and until factual observations for each place are not conducted or exercised, at least to preliminary levels, there remains scope for different calculations.
Some of these observations can be easier to conduct, while others require much deeper and technical dive. As long as none of these observations have been entertained, we hope that the Salah performed at earlier times will be accepted as well.
Hence, if you are not factually involved in such observations, and follow a mosque generally, I suggest not to miss your congregation at the Mosque. At the same time, learn these particular issues related to worship and seek ulama’ who can educate as well as mobilize towards starting some observations throughout the year for hands-on development.
2. According to Hanafiya there is no combining of two Salah except in Hajj behind the Imam of Hajj specifically. We have addressed this in the following answer which can be read. https://qna.ilmhub.com/question/can-we-combine-zohar-asr-and-magrib-isha-salah-on-some-days/
The same rationale will apply here as well.
