Prayer is the pillar of Islam, and abandoning it is among the greatest destructive sins. It is not permissible for a woman to delay Fajr prayer until its time expires, and she must stand for prayer even if her husband prevents her. If he insists on preventing her, she has the right to seek divorce from him.
