When the sun doesn't decline below 18°, and the twilight doesn't set, the time for Isha never begins. The Malikis follow Imam Malik where he states that if people pray Isha after Maghrib, before half the night passes, they should not be prevented from doing so. However, Ala Hazrat says that in this case it is better for Isha to be prayed as Qadha in Fatawa Ridhawiyya. In the Hanafi Madhab (unsure about others), praying Ada or Qadha with the other intention is still accepted according to the Usool. My question is why can one not pray Isha after Maghrib on these days with the intention of Qadha as the Ulema have said to do Qadha of Isha? One would still be praying 5 times in the day and doesn't have to pray the Qadha at a later date - it is done. I thought this could be due to the opinion that the cause of obligation of Isha time (setting of astronomical twilight) was never present, hence the Isha time hasn't yet commenced — so how woild someone pray the Qadha before even the Ada time? However, my reasoning would seem incorrect as how could one ever pray the Qadha in this case, since the Ada time for Isha of this day will never begin (it doesn't exist)? Can someone help clarify
