Delaying the women's 'Isha' prayer until the middle of the night

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the women, is it better for them to delay the 'Isha' prayer until the middle of the night?

Answer:
If she is not tied to a husband and not tied to anyone else, there is nothing wrong with it. But if she is tied to a husband or to some of the housework, and delaying the 'Isha' prayer would cause her to be preoccupied with it or forget it, she should hasten to perform it. Yes.
