If a woman becomes pure, is it permissible for her to delay the full ritual bath until the time of prayer, even though she is married?

The questioner : Well, Shaykh (may Allah preserve him), if a woman becomes pure, is it obligatory for her to take the full ritual bath immediately, or does she wait until the time of prayer, given that she is a married woman?

The Shaykh : If a woman becomes pure during the time of prayer, it is obligatory for her to take the full ritual bath so that the time of prayer does not end before she prays. If she becomes pure outside the time of prayer, such as if she becomes pure after the sun has risen, she may delay the full ritual bath until the call to prayer for the midday prayer.
