في شهر رمضان المبارك، ما حكم تأخير صلاة المغرب حتى يتسنى للصائمين الأكل والشرب؟ In the blessed month of Ramadan, what is the ruling on delaying Al-Maghrib prayer so that those who are fasting could eat and drink? شئ طيب، و كان صلى الله عليه و سلم ينتظر أصحابه و لا يقيم الصلاة حتى يتمكنوا من الإفطار و الحضور. It's a good thing, and the Prophet ﷺ used to wait on his companions and did not make Iqama (the call to stand up to start prayer) until they broke their fast and could attend. و حتى إنه كان إذا كان في الركوع و سمع وقع أقدام الداخلين، لا يرفع رأسه لتمكينهم من الركوع معه صلى الله عليه و سلم. Even when he was in ruku' (prostration in standing position) and heard the footsteps of people coming in, he wouldn’t raise his head so they would be able to do ruku' with him ﷺ.
