Question
What is the evidence that it is obligatory for a Muslim to perform the obligatory prayer on time?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The evidence is countless, as in His saying: {Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a timed ordinance} [An-Nisa: 103], and in a hadith from Sahih Muslim 1: 448, he said : (Pray the prayer at its time), and God knows best.
