The ruling on delaying the prayer until after the beginning of its time

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to delay the 'Asr prayer by half an hour after the adhan? And what is the correct Prophetic Sunnah regarding this? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
My brother, the one who is bound by the congregation prays with the congregation and does not delay, because the congregational prayer is obligatory. As for the one who prays alone, or a group in one place, they delay it from the beginning of the time by a slight amount, as long as the sun does not turn yellow, and there is no harm in that. As for the one who abandons the congregation and delays, he is mistaken and has abandoned an obligation, which is the congregational prayer. And the prayer at the beginning of its time is better. Yes.
