Question:
The issue is that some women wait until the congregational prayer is finished in the mosque next to them, then they pray.
Answer:
A woman is not bound by a specific time for performing her prayer in her home; rather, once the time enters, she may pray whenever she wishes. The sooner she is, the better; the sooner she performs the prayer, the better. This is because the best of deeds, or among the best of deeds, is praying at the beginning of its time. She may delay it, but to be bound by the imam's prayer and not pray until he finishes has no basis. She is exempt from being bound by the imam. Rather, once the time enters, she prays whenever she wishes, but the sooner she is, the better. Yes. May Allah reward you.
