The answer

Scholars have agreed on the obligation of performing prayer within its prescribed time, as Allah says: "Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a timed ordinance." It is not permissible to intentionally delay it beyond its time, except for an excuse, such as a menstruating woman who becomes pure, or a disbeliever who embraces Islam, or a sleeper who awakens, or a sick person who recovers. And whoever catches one unit (rak'ah) of the prayer before its time expires, has indeed caught it within its time.
