I only know of Mufti Rafi and Mufti Taqi, and the rest of the Muftis of Dar al-Ulum Karachi who stated in an answer to the people in Leicester, that it is still obligatory to follow 15 degrees for Isha, and one is not allowed to go below 15 degrees. He does say one is allowed to act upon another madhhab in order to combine maghrib and isha when Isha time enters very late. The fatwa was put online here: http://www.wifaqululama.co.uk/18-deg...eicester-.html

I know Mufti Taqi visited UK and I am still wondering whether he changed his stance or not. I have been desperate to know his stance about this issue. Did he make up his prayer or not since ALL mosques in UK do NOT abide with 18/15 degrees.

I only see a leeway within the Hanbali madhhab, because they are mild when it comes to the reasons of combining prayers.

not sure if this helps but in this article from last year shaykh haytham wrote
I have recently discussed the issue with Mufti Taqi Uthmani (in the company of other scholars) who stated that he himself along with 99% of the scholars of the Indian sub-continent viewed the 18 degree formula to be the correct calculation for prayer times.
