The time of Isha begins after the end of Maghrib and lasts till the time of Subhi Sadiq. But it is better to perform this prayer before midnight. So after Maghrib, you can pray the Isha prayer, one hour and 15 minutes to one hour and 30 minutes in Hanafi.
Because The time of Maghrib is from sunset until the white glow of the western sky. In the Hanafi Madhhab, Isha time begins after the white light has passed. There is no gap between Maghrib and Isha’s time.
As soon as the time of Maghrib ends, the time of Isha begins. Maghrib time is more or less depending on winter and summer. Generally, Maghrib time is long from one hour twenty minutes to one hour thirty-five minutes. However, it is mustahab to perform the Maghrib prayer at the time of Awal. (Kefayatul Mufti)
How much time is between Maghrib and Isha prayers?
There are different opinions about the stability of Maghrib’s time. According to some scholars, it is the time of Azan Iamat and the five rakat prayers. According to most of scholars, this time is the time of Maghrib starting from sunset until the red light appears in the western sky.
But I never count in minutes. Some have calculated after Maghrib prayer Isha in Hanafi as one hour, and 5 to 10 minutes. Therefore, you cannot perform Isha before this time, because Maghrib is the sunnah time, so perform the prayer as soon as possible after the adhan.
Maghrib time begins after the sun sets completely and Maghrib time lasts until Isha time starts. Maghrib lasts until Shafaq disappears. There is a difference of opinion among the Imams regarding the definition of Shafaq. Shafaq can also mean redness and the appearance after redness can also be white streaks.
The word is one of those words that carries multiple meanings. Some lexicographers interpret the meaning of Shafaq as Lalima. Some have interpreted it to mean the white line. There was a difference of opinion among the Companions as to whether Shafaq here meant red or white streaks. Shafaq is Lalima according to Ibn Omar.
But according to Abu Huraira RA Shafaq is a white line. According to the clock, Maghrib time is about 1 hour or less or more depending on the season. People say that Maghrib’s time is 15-20 minutes. This is not correct.

According to some imams and Hanafi, Maghrib time ends and Isha time begins as soon as red ends and white begins. (There is no fatwa on this opinion in the Hanafi Madhhab. Therefore, Isha should not be recited at that time unless it is necessary.) (Al Bahrur Rayeeq: 1/425-26)
