MEGA MERAH (RED RAYS OF THE SUN) YANG TAK HILANG-HILANG......
Kekadang menyuruh anak menunggu ke hampir ke tengah malam utk sembahyang isya' terasa agak berat....Dari isya masuk jam 10.00 malam...Mereka masih sabar dan OK...Masuk jam 10.20 malam mula mengeluh....Bila isya' jam 11.00 malam rungutan dah semakin kuat....Emm sekarang dah jam 11.30 malam....Mencabar juga...Berbual dengan Wan petang tadi...Aku mula berkira2 utk memberi kemudahan jama' kepada Kak Long & Cik Nyah...Apa-apa pun mesti dapat maklumat yang jelas dulu...Fatwa mana...Apa alasan....Setakad mana nak pakai kemudahan...Sengaja mempermudah ke tidak ke? Mesti jelas dulu....
Selepas sembahyang maghrib tadi aku mula mencari2 maklumat. Bermacam2 aku jumpa...Alhamdullillah...Senang gak rasa hati..Mungkin boleh meringankan beban utk anak2...
Ini antara link yang banyak memberi kefahaman dari segi asas dan alasan dengan lebih jelas

Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a Senior Lecturer and an Islamic Scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states:
The time for `Isha, as has been stated clearly in the authentic traditions, starts as soon as the red rays of sun disappears from the horizon, and night creeps in.
It is all well known that the time for Maghrib starts as soon as the sun sets. Unlike other prayers such as Dhur and `Asr, there is not much gap between Maghrib and `Isha. Stated differently, the time for `Isha starts as soon as Maghrib’s time expires.
Based on the above evidence, Imams such as Shafi`e concluded that the time of Maghrib lasts only as much as one can perform ablution well and pray five rak’ahs of Prayer comfortably. This can be estimated conservatively as not more than half-hour. Accordingly, based on this, one is allowed to pray `Isha half an hour after Maghrib.
From what has been stated above, it is reasonable to deduce that one is allowed to pray `Isha one hour after Maghrib without incurring sin, especially if he/she has to go bed early in summer when Maghrib’s time is somehow late or in such places where there is no much gap between `Isha and Fajr.
Students, and people who are in dire need of going to bed early because of their studies or job situations can readily make use of this relaxed rule. So are those who are elderly, sick and weak who may be experiencing hardship in putting off their fixed time for slee.
Having said this, we must add: If a person does not experience any of the time constraints described above, and has the leisure of delaying `Isha, it is preferable for him/her to delay ‘Isha for some time- although not later than midnight -

as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to
have said “If it would not have been hard on my Ummah, I would have ordered them to delay `Isha Prayer.”
The same conclusion drawn by Sheikh Ahmad Kutty is also maintained by the prominent Azharite scholar Sheikh `Abdul-Majeed Subh, who adds:
One can, as long as he is driven by necessity, pray Maghrib, then wait for one hour and perform `Isha afterwards. This ruling is special to Muslims living in the West who find it very difficult to stay awake for `Isha prayer.
Tackling the last point concerning the possibility of combining both Maghrib and `Isha prayer in the given case, the eminent Muslim scholar Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, concludes:
“Originally, Muslims are required to perform prayer at their appointed times. However, the case of Muslims living in the West may necessitate them to get up early in the morning to reach their work on time. With this, they find it difficult to stay up late to perform `Isha at its appointed time. If we force people to perform `Isha at its appointed time, then we are ordering them to do something beyond their capability.
It stands to reason that Islam is the religion of easiness. It tends to remove hardship from its followers. Thus, Muslims living in the West who face such difficulty may be allowed to combine both Maghrib and `Isha together. However, the issue of necessity is left to the conscience of those Muslims, and Allah will reward each according to his intention. "
