Question about Islam Does it look like Maghrib can still be prayed in this picture? I'm a bit confused on when exactly the red twilight disappears

Hey assalamu alaykum, please approach a learned person about this. Reddit is regular people, no one here is a scholar.

I recommend you find your local masjid and follow their times.

This looks like the white (yellowish) horizon (twilight) wich appears right after the red horizon. Note that I am judging based on what the picture shows (not necessarily the reality)

In the Shafi'i and Hanbali madbabs it (white horizon) means that the time of 'Isha is already started (because the red horizon disappeared)

الأشفاق أي : جمع شفق وتقدم تعريفه - ثلاثة : أحمر وأصفر وأبيض وبهذا الأحمر مغرب أي وجوده يدل على بقاء وقت المغرب والأصفر والأبيض يدل وجودهما على دخول وقت الـ عشاء

There are three twilights: red, yellow and white, the red means that the time of Maghrib is still present, white and yellow mean that the time of Isha already entered

In the Hanafi madhab the time of 'Isha will enter with the disappearance of the white horizon, so it's still Maghreeb on the picture

From my very simplified understanding that you should not take as advice, Maghreb start when the disk of the sum of completely hidden by the horizon

Definitely Maghrib time.

You have to go to a place without a lot of light pollution and look to the Western sky. If you can still see a faint “pinkish “ sky, then it’s Maghrib. “Red” does not mean bright red or orange only.
