Question:
Is it permissible for the one who prays to pray upon hearing the adhan, or should he wait a little after the adhan? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
For those who are not required to attend the congregation, such as women and those with an excuse, it is permissible to pray upon hearing the adhan, and it is permissible to delay; because the time is wide, and praise be to Allah. So he may hasten, and that is better, and he may delay, and that is permissible for him. But if he is bound to the congregation, then it is obligatory for him to go to the mosque and pray with the congregation, and it is not permissible for him to [pray at home] for several days. Yes, may Allah reward you with good.
