Lets not talk about the pro’s and ‘or cons of other timings . lets simply try deal with the practicality of the 18d time.

Example:

Iftar: 9:20
Finish Magrib & sunnahs: 9:35
Leaving Large masjid: 9:38
Getting home: 9:45

Esha Azaan: 10:25
Esha starts: 10:35
Tarawi and Witr ends (based on 1 para): 12:10
Leaving large Masjid: 12:17
Getting to car and driving home or walking home: between 12:20 and 12:30
Approx 25 mins to get ready for tahajjud/duas and eating suhoor
Suhoor 12:55am

That is just very hard to do..unless you either bring esha even more foward slightly or get speedy reciters in tarawi.

I can see the issue here. Are you suggesting we should consider combining Maghrib and Esha or praying less in tarawih (speedy reciters defeats the purpose?)? Tarawih will become Tahajjud and Tarwaih combined ...

If the Quraa' are from the Indian sub-continent (who tend to pray faster) it will finish at 12:10, but if not, we are looking at 12:30.

For those who work it works very well as it means they don't need to wake up again for fajr, so can have a decent sleep before rising for work. However, for those who live far from the mosque, they'll probably need to consider having suhoor at the masjid?

Are the mosques who don't follow 18 degrees catering for those who follow 18 degree and are in itikaaf?
