Delaying the prayer until the end of its time and the prayer of the hypocrites

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner, or rather a female questioner, asks: What is the ruling on delaying the prayer until the end of its time, about a quarter of an hour before the time expires? And is this the prayer of the hypocrites mentioned in the hadith, where the hypocrite watches the sun until it is between the horns of the devil, then he prays it hastily ?

Answer:
Yes, this is among the characteristics of the hypocrites if one intentionally delays the prayer until the end of its time. This is among the characteristics of the prayer of the hypocrites. Furthermore, there is a great matter in it, which is that he abandons the congregational prayer; he does not pray with the congregation. Rather, he delays until the end of the time and then prays it hastily before the time expires. There is no doubt that this is a sign of hypocrisy.
