Is a person considered an apostate if they postpone prayer (Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr) until the next day with the intention of making it up, while knowing of Sheikh Ibn Baz's fatwa that whoever delays prayer beyond its time is an apostate, believing that the majority of scholars consider it a major sin, and intending to recite the Shahada and perform ghusl the next day to resolve the scholarly dispute?

Prayer must be performed on time, and it is not permissible to delay it without a valid Shar’i excuse; otherwise, it would be a dereliction of it. One must ignore whisperings (waswas) and increase supplication (du’a). If one deliberately prays with the intention of repeating it outside its prescribed time, it is invalid according to some scholars. Delaying prayer until its time has passed is a major sin according to the majority of scholars, and an act of disbelief that expels one from the faith according to Sheikh Ibn Baz. One must maintain performing prayers on time with congregational prayer in the mosque.
