What is the ruling on a woman delaying her prayer beyond its prescribed time under the pretext of preparing food and baking bread for her husband, and does she incur sin by His — the Almighty’s — saying: "So woe to those who pray, [but] who are heedless of their prayer"?

Prayer has a specific time, and delaying it beyond its time is not permissible except for a valid excuse. Housework and cooking food are not excuses for delaying prayer and performing it outside its time; rather, that is a sin. The children should continue to advise their mother and pray for her guidance, reminding her of the importance of performing prayer on time. And the husband should be admonished if he condones the neglect of prayer for the sake of food.
