The answer

Prayer holds immense significance, and it is not permissible to delay it beyond its appointed time except for an excuse that allows for combining prayers. It is not permissible to delay the Dhuhr or Asr prayers until Maghrib or Isha. In cases of extreme fear, one prays according to their situation, whether walking or riding, gesturing for bowing and prostrating. Facing the Qiblah is waived if one is fleeing. Purification is achieved through ablution (wudu) or dry ablution (); if unable, one prays in their current state. If a flood prevents someone from leaving their car, they pray while seated.
