Best of you

40. "The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deeds according to Allah the Mighty, the Magnificent, is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt or stave away hunger from him. It is more beloved to me that I walk with my brother Muslim in his time of need than I stay secluded in the mosque for a month. Whoever holds back his anger, Allah will cover his faults and whoever suppresses his fury while being able to execute it, Allah will fill his heart with satisfaction on the Day of Standing. Whoever walks with his brother Muslim in need until he establishes that for him, Allah will establish his feet firmly on the day when all feet shall slip. Indeed, bad character ruins deeds just as vinegar ruins honey." [Tabarâni, Hasan]

Quotes to remember

29. A nomad said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ “Advise me.” And he ﷺ said, “If a man defamed you with what he knows about you, do not defame him with what you know about him. For the sin is against him.” The nomad said, “I never abused any person after that.”

Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

Al-Lālakā`ī, Sharh Usūl I’tiqād Ahl Al-Sunnah article 136

The Ruling on Delaying the Maghrib Prayer until the Time of Isha

Question:

I and some of my family go to a neighbouring city which is far away - about fifty kilometres from our city - in order to purchase certain necessities, and we return Maghrib time, and sometimes we leave later, because of the crowds and the fact that Maghrib time is short, so we do not arrive until after the Athan of Isha prayer, that is after the time for Maghrib has expired. So is it permissible for us to in this situation - bearing in mind the distance of the city and hardship entailed upon the women - to delay the Maghrib prayer until we reach our city?
Answer:

There is no sin in delaying the Maghrib prayer until you reach your city when the situation is as you describe, in order to alleviate hardship, but if it is possible to pray on the road, it is better.
