The answer

Performing the prayer at the beginning of its prescribed time is better, and it is permissible to delay it until the end of its time if there is a need, unless delaying it would cause a man to miss the virtue of congregational prayer, in which case it is forbidden, because congregational prayer is obligatory for men.
