The answer

It is not permissible to delay prayer beyond its prescribed time. Allah has warned those who delay it, as He says: {So woe to those who pray [But] who are heedless of their prayer} [Al-Ma'un: 4-5]. It is permissible to combine and shorten prayers if the distance is a travel distance (83 km). However, if it is not, then it is obligatory to perform each prayer at its time, fully. Changing clothes is not an excuse for delaying prayer; one can take precautions and change in restrooms. If a place for purification is not available, then praying without purity at its prescribed time is better than delaying it, for prayer is more important than studying.
