Is It Haram to Pray Late?
Failing to perform a prayer within its designated time is considered a grave sin, unless there is a valid excuse, such as oversleeping or forgetting. According to Al-Mawsu`ah Al-Fiqhiyyah, 10/8, it is stated: "Scholars have reached a consensus that it is impermissible to postpone prayer until its allotted time has passed, without a valid reason."
