The answer

Prayer must be performed on time, and it is not permissible to delay it, for Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a timed ordinance," and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Perform prayer at its appointed time." If the delay is due to residing in the lands of the disbelievers, then emigration to Islamic lands becomes obligatory. As for a man's absence from his wife, it is not permissible for more than six months except with her consent.
