The answer

It is permissible to delay the (ritual bath) for (state of ritual impurity following sexual intercourse or seminal emission) until the time of performing the prayer, even if there is no necessity. This is because the obligation of ghusl is not immediate but rather deferred; it only becomes obligatory when one intends to perform an act that is forbidden in the state of janabah, such as prayer. This is supported by the of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which indicates the permissibility of delaying the ghusl from the very beginning of its obligation.
