The answer

It is permissible to delay the prayer until the end of its time, but this is contrary to what is most preferable and involves a risk. As for being preoccupied with silencing a child when the prayer time is short, to the extent that its time expires, this is forbidden and necessitates repentance, unless the one delaying is certain or has a strong presumption that this will not cause the prayer to be missed within its time. Whoever intentionally leaves the prayer until its time has expired does not become a disbeliever.
