Time before sunset when it is not permissible to perform salaah

Q: How many minutes before sunset is it not permissible to make salaah or sajdah-e-tilaawat? Some say atleast half an hour before sunset and some say about three minutes before sunset. 

A: There is no set time for determining the makrooh time. It would be approximately 15 minutes before sunset.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
