Is it better for a girl to pray alone immediately after the Adhan, or to wait for her father to pray in congregation, knowing that the prayer time has not expired?

The questioner is congratulated for his consistent performance of prayer in congregation. If waiting for the father to pray with him does not lead to the prayer time expiring, then it is better to wait to multiply the reward by twenty-seven degrees. Performing prayer on time is among the best deeds, and the father should be reminded of the necessity of performing prayer with the Muslim community, especially if he hears the call, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever hears the call and does not come to it, there is no prayer for him, except for one with an excuse."
