Question
When is it appropriate to pray Maariv on Saturday night?
Answer
It is appropriate to slightly delay the Maariv prayer beyond the usual time for Maariv every Shabbat to add from the weekday to the holy, even though in practice no work is done until after Maariv, and although according to the essence of the law it is permissible to pray Maariv even before the end of Shabbat [for those who always pray from Plag Hamincha, it is also possible on Shabbat].
