Question:
The questioner says: My wife has been delaying all the prayers until the time of the 'Isha' prayer for twenty years, and she prays them then. I have encouraged her and threatened her many times, but she has not done it. What do you advise me to do?
Answer:
It is not permissible for her to delay the prayer from its time without an excuse. If she delays the prayer from its time without an excuse, then it is not valid from her and is not accepted from her, because she has not prayed the prayer that Allah commanded her to pray. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:[An-Nisa 4:103] So whoever delays it from its time has not prayed it as Allah commanded, and it is not accepted from her. This woman’s prayer is not accepted from her as long as she delays the prayers intentionally. So her prayer is not valid and not accepted. And if she does not comply, you must separate from her; do not remain with her while she is in this state. And Allah will replace her with something better for you. Yes.

Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times.
