A woman delaying the 'Isha' prayer until after midnight

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the sister Ummah says: Is it permissible for a woman to delay the 'Isha' prayer until after midnight if she is busy with the house and her children?

Answer:
No. The last of the chosen time is midnight or one-third of the night; this is the chosen time. So do not delay it beyond that except out of dire necessity. Do not delay it beyond one-third of the night or half the night except out of dire necessity. Yes.
