The ruling on delaying the 'Isha' prayer until midnight

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman, Honorable Shaykh, if she is busy, to delay the 'Isha' prayer until midnight?

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, delaying it to the last third of the night or to midnight is better for one who does not abandon it, for one who commits to performing it. It is permissible for her to delay it, such as a woman who does not have a congregational prayer. If she does not forget it and does not feel lazy about it, it is better to delay it to the last third of the night or to the middle of the night as the last thing. As for one who has a congregation of men, he prays with the congregation, even if they pray it at the beginning of its time before sleeping. Yes.
