Esha time in UK

Assalamualaikum
Please help me in understanding the correct time of Esha?
Jazaakallah
 
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuhu
The time if ‘Isha commences upon the disappearance of the whiteness of the sky (Al-Shafq al-Abyad) according to Imam Abu Hanifa (Ramatullaahi ‘alayhi) and upon the disappearance of the redness of the sky (Al-Shafq al-Ahmar) according to Imam Abu Yusuf (Ramatullaahi ‘alayhi) and Imam Muhammad (Ramatullaahi ‘alayhi).
In high latitude countries, the whiteness in the sky remains in the sky during the summer days and at times the redness also does not disappear.  According to some Jurists, the ‘Isha prayer is not obligatory since the time of ‘Isha never sets in. However other ‘Ulama have stated that salat will still be obligatory and this is a more precautionary view.
If it is a locality where the redness disappears but the whiteness remains, then the ‘Isha time will commence upon the redness disappearing. This is the view of Imam Abu Yusuf (Ramatullaahi ‘alayhi) and Imam Muhammad (Ramatullaahi ‘alayhi) and is a valid, accepted view within the madhhab.
If it is a locality where the redness in the sky also does not disappear or the sun never sets below the horizon, then Jurists have given different options to what should be done for the daily salats.
·        The timings of salat should be calculated based upon that day of the year which has a normal, balanced timing.
·        The timings salat should be calculated based upon the last day in which there was a normal night, i.e. the redness and the whiteness disappeared.
·        The timings for the salat should be calculated based upon the nearest locality that has a normal day and night.
One should adopt an option in which the remainder of the locality is practicing upon so the community can perform the salats with congregation. If one is uncertain about which method of calculation is right for him, then he should consult the local scholars and practice upon their advice.
It would not be correct to stipulate a general time such as 1 ½ hours after Maghrib for the time of ‘Isha. The timing of salat is not calculated by fixed times but it depends on the movement of the sun. We understand that it is difficult to practice upon the stipulated time of salat, especially when the days are long and Fajr is very early. If one is in extreme difficulty, then he may perform the ‘Isha salat right before the Fajr time is about to commence and then perform Fajr salat thereafter. (This is known as Jama’ Suwari)

فى در المختار: ( وفاقد وقتهما ) كبلغار ، فإن فيها يطلع الفجر قبل غروب الشفق في أربعينية الشتاء ( مكلف بهما فيقدر لهما ) ولا ينوي القضاء لفقد وقت الأداء به أفتى البرهان الكبير واختاره الكمال ، وتبعه ابن الشحنة في ألغازه فصححه ، فزعم المصنف أنه المذهب ( وقيل لا ) يكلف بهما لعدم سببهما ، وبه جزم في الكنز والدرر والملتقى وبه أفتى البقالي ، ووافقه الحلواني والمرغيناني ورجحه الشرنبلالي والحلبي ، وأوسعا المقال ومنعا ما ذكره الكمال قلت : ولا يساعده حديث الدجال ؛ لأنه وإن وجب أكثر من ثلثمائة ظهر مثلا قبل الزوال ليس كمسألتنا ؛ لأن المفقود فيه العلامة لا الزمان ، وأما فيها فقد فقد الأمران .
فى رد المحتار: بقي الكلام في معنى التقدير ، والذي يظهر من عبارة الفيض أن المراد أنه يجب قضاء العشاء ، بأن يقدر أن الوقت أعني سبب الوجوب قد وجد كما يقدر وجوده في أيام الدجال على ما يأتي ؛ لأنه لا يجب بدون السبب ، فيكون قوله ويقدر الوقت جوابا عن قوله في الأول لعدم السبب . وحاصله أنا لا نسلم لزوم وجود السبب حقيقة بل يكفي تقديره كما في أيام الدجال . ويحتمل أن المراد بالتقدير المذكور هو ما قاله الشافعية من أنه يكون وقت العشاء في حقهم بقدر ما يغيب فيه الشفق في أقرب البلاد إليهم ، والمعنى الأول أظهر ،...والأحسن في الجواب عن المحقق الكمال ابن الهمام أنه لم يذكر حديث الدجال ليقيس عليه مسألتنا أو يلحقها به دلالة ، وإنما ذكره دليلا على افتراض الصلوات الخمس وإن لم يوجد السبب افتراضا عاما ؛ لأن قوله وما روي معطوف على قوله ما تواطأت عليه أخبار الإسراء ، وما أورده عليه من عدم الافتراض على الحائض والكافر يجاب عنه بما قاله المحشي من ورود النص بإخراجهما من العموم . هذا وقد أقر ما ذكره المحقق تلميذاه العلامتان المحققان ابن أمير حاج والشيخ قاسم . والحاصل أنهما قولان مصححان ، ويتأيد القول بالوجوب بأنه قال به إمام مجتهد وهو الإمام الشافعي كما نقله في الحلية عن المتولي عنه . ( قوله : ولا يساعده ) الضمير راجع إلى ما ذكره الكمال ح . ( قوله : حديث الدجال ) هو ما قدمناه في كلام الكمال . قال الإسنوي : فيستثنى هذا اليوم مما ذكر في المواقيت ، ويقاس اليومان التاليان له . قال الرملي في شرح المنهاج : ويجري ذلك فيما لو مكثت الشمس عند قوم مدة . ا هـ . ح . قال في إمداد الفتاح قلت : وكذلك يقدر لجميع الآجال كالصوم والزكاة والحج والعدة وآجال البيع والسلم والإجارة ، وينظر ابتداء اليوم فيقدر كل فصل من الفصول الأربعة بحسب ما يكون كل يوم من الزيادة والنقص كذا في كتب الأئمة الشافعية ، ونحن نقول بمثله إذ أصل التقدير مقول به إجماعا في الصلوات ا هـ .

I have a boil under my arm.....

I have a boil under my arm. If I remain as normal, the blood does not ooze out of the boil. However, if I lift my arm up, I don’t know how come, but somehow this is a means of pressure being applied to the boil and thus the blood flows out. Likewise, if I do strenuous work, which involves the moving about of my arms, the blood oozes. I know the Masla that if you have a boil or wound and if you squeeze it and blood flows out then you must think to yourself that had you not squeezed it then blood would not have come out then in that case your Wuzu won’t break, so my question is can i regard the lifting up of my arm and my doing of strenuous work to be in place of squeezing? In other words, if I lift my arm up and blood flows out, I won’t regard my Wuzu to be broken because I know that force was applied to the boil and that why blood came out. Am I correct?? This same thing happened last night, so i didn’t renew my Wuzu, and in that condition i lead the congregation in Tarawih and Witr prayer.
JazakAllah
Wassalaam

We acknowledge receipt of your query and our response follows hereunder:
If a pimple (which is in your case a boil) bursts and the blood flows out onto the skin, the Wudhu will be nullified and you will have to renew the Wudhu [1]. Hence by you not renewing your Wudhu, neither the Taraweeh nor the Witr were correct.
In that case you will have to inform the Muqtadis to make Qadha (substitute) of their Witr on that particular day by elucidating the cause. As for the Taraweeh there is no Qadha.

We acknowledge receipt of your query and our response follows hereunder:
He who trims his beard is an open Faasiq and should not lead Salaah, however if ones perform Salaah behind such Faasiq, his Salaah will be valid with karaahat.
