1- The time for Fajr prayer lasts from the onset of the true dawn until the sun starts to rise. 2- Delaying the Fajr prayer beyond its proper time with no excuse is a major sin

Prayer offered before its time is not valid, according to the consensus of the Muslims. If a person offers a prayer before its time deliberately, the prayer is invalid. If that was not done deliberately, then it is not a sin and his prayer is regarded as nafl.

There is nothing wrong with delaying `Isha’ prayer in Ramadan on condition that the Imam does not delay the prayer so much that he causes hardship to the members of the congregation.

The times of the prayers were mentioned by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the hadith: “The time for Zhuhr is from when the sun has passed its zenith and a man’s shadow is equal in length to his height, until the time for ‘Asr comes. The time for ‘Asr lasts until the sun turns yellow. The time for Maghrib lasts until the twilight has faded. The time for ‘Isha’ lasts until midnight. The time for Subh (Fajr) prayer lasts from the beginning of the pre-dawn so long as the sun has not yet started to rise. When the sun starts to rise then stop praying, for it rises between the two horns of the Shaytan.”

‘Isha prayer must be performed before midnight, and it is not permissible to delay it until midnight.
