Is it better for a woman to hasten the 'Isha' prayer or delay it?

The questioner:
The last question you received concerns the 'Isha' prayer for a woman; it is better for her to delay it. The question is: Is her reward greater if she prays at its time or if she delays it?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
I am repeating the question regarding the 'Isha' prayer. He says: Honorable Shaykh, regarding a woman's prayer, is it better for her to hasten to pray or to delay it?

The Shaykh:
As for men, they pray in congregation; if they hasten, she hastens with them, and if they delay, she delays with them, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. As for the woman, she should do what is most comfortable for her. If she hastens to pray after the time has entered, that is for her, and she has performed it in its time. If she delays it, the time is wide, but she should not forget it or be lazy about it. If she fears that she will be preoccupied with it, or that she will be lazy about it, or that she will forget it, then she should hasten to pray it and not delay it. Yes.
