QUESTION:

I have a question with respect to Namaz-e-Shab, could it be answered 
according to the rules of Ayatullah Seestani?

With regards to Namaz-e-Shab, when is time that this namaz should be 
recited?  Is there a minimum/maximum time before Subhu that it should 
be recited?

Next question is about maghrib/isha namaz.  When is this namaz 
considered to be kaza?  For example, magrib time is at 7:00pm.  It is 
kaza at 12:00am (midnight) or before namaz-e-shab or before subhu 
namaz?


ANSWER:

According to Ayatullah Seestani, the time for Namaze Shab is from midnight
till Adhan time for Fajr prayers, and it is better to offer it nearer the
time of Fajr prayers.

In normal situation, the time for Maghrib and Isha is till midnight.
Midnight is to be calculated as the middle time from Maghrib to Fajr.  If a
person delays due to illness or a Haez woman is delayed in becoming Pak,
then the same time will continue till before Fajr prayers.
