The time for Maghrib extends until the disappearance of the red twilight (shafaq al-ahmar), and it varies with the different seasons of the year. If the red twilight is not clear, one can rely on approved calendars, such as the Umm al-Qura calendar. Some scholars, like Ibn Hazm, held that the time for Maghrib is equal to the time for Fajr, but Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah weakened this view, explaining that the two periods differ between summer and winter.
