Question
Regarding Fasting on Monday and Thursday in these two days, the committee of the mosque decided to delay the Maghrib Salaat after the Athaan, as is done in Ramadan. Is this correct?
Answer
Even in Ramadhaan, the delay in the Maghrib Salaat is excessive and not permissible. The time allocated for feasting at the time of Iftaar is inordinate even during Ramadhaan. For the Monday and Thursday fasting there should be no delay. Those fasting are able to make iftaar with some dates while the Athaan is being called. The Maghrib Salaat should not be delayed to bloat the nafs of those engaging in the Masnoon fasts.
