"Whoever delays prayer beyond its time due to studying does not become an unbeliever (kafir), but he has committed a grave sin. He should have sought permission from the teacher to pray on time, or intended to combine Maghrib and Isha prayers as a delayed combination (jam' ta'khir) due to necessity. Repentance erases the sins that preceded it."
