A woman praying inside her home after the adhaan or the iqaamah has been called

Question: When should a woman pray inside the home, is it after the adhaan (has been called locally) or after the iqaamah (has been called)?

Response: If the time (for the prayer) has arrived, then the women who are in the homes should pray and not wait for the iqaamah (to be called), rather, they should pray after hearing the adhaan(having been called) if the mu.adhdhin calls the adhaan (promptly) at the time of the prayer. And it is permissible for them to delay (the prayer) from its initial time of arrival, and Allaah knows best.
