It starts after the Sun turns yellow, an event that takes place when the distance between the Sun’s lower [preceding] limb and the line of apparent horizon is a spear’s length, which is five angular degrees. The period of sunset begins when, in a dust free, smogless, clear sky, the places where sunlight is reflected on, or the Sun itself, become yellow enough to be looked at, and ends as it sinks (below the horizon). This time is called Isfirâr-i shams. Those who have not performed the asr prayer have to perform only the fard of it [even] at this time but should never leave it to qadâ. | 18:17 |

The period between this time and the time of sunset varies between 53 and 67 minutes in cities like Istanbul of which latitude is 41° in a year. It is sunnat to perform the maghrib prayer in the early time of its period. It is harâm to postpone it after Ishtibâk-i nujûm, that is, after the following limb of the Sun is sunk down to an altitude of 10° below the line of apparent horizon.

If the time between these two are divided by two and added to the maghrib prayer time, or subtracted from the fajr prayer time, the midnight is found. According to some scholars in the Shâfi’î Madhhab, the latest (âkhir) time for night prayer is until the shar’î midnight.

It is more virtuous than one thousand-rakat prayer performed during daytime. Performing two rakats of qadâ salat, in its turn, is more virtuous than performing salat-i tahajjud. | 01:26 |
ZoraTime of dhawn: It is the last one sixth of the time between sunset time, that is, maghrib prayer time, and imsâk time. It says in the explanation of Shir’at-ul-islâm, “It was declared in a hadith-i sherif, ‘The prayers made in the time of dhawn at night and after prayers are accepted’.
