Is it permissible to pray in the bathroom to avoid being seen by people, or should the Dhuhr and Asr prayers be performed after the Maghrib Adhan upon returning home?

It was previously explained that it is permissible to pray in the bathroom when necessary, provided that the place of prayer is clean. It is not permissible to delay the Dhuhr and Asr prayers until Maghrib; rather, each prayer must be performed within its prescribed time. Similarly, it is not permissible for a woman to reside in disbelieving lands if she fears for her faith or honor, and studying is not an excuse for this. She must return to her country, for Allah will question her about her faith and her obedience to His Messenger (peace be upon him).
