You bear no sin for delaying the prayer after the , as long as you pray it before its time expires. Prayer is permissible throughout its entire time, and it is not obligatory to perform it at the very beginning of its time. This is from Allah's mercy upon His servants. Praying at the beginning of the time is better, except for the 'Isha prayer, for which praying at the end of its time is better.
