What is the ruling on delaying the 'Isha' prayer until after the middle of the night

Question : Peace be upon you. Regarding the women, this sister asks, Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on delaying the 'Isha' prayer until after eleven o'clock?

Answer : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) specified that as the middle of the night. Is it not permissible for a woman, and is it not decreed for a woman, to delay the 'Isha' prayer until after the middle of the night? You divide the time between the setting of the sun and the appearance of the dawn into two halves. The first half is the time for the 'Isha' prayer, and the second half is not a time for the 'Isha' prayer.
