The questioner:
He sent a question and says: What is your opinion on combining prayers with evidence? And is combining by bringing forward or combining by delaying better, with evidence? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
The default is that the prayers are performed, each prayer in its time that Allah has specified for it, not brought forward of it and not delayed from it. His saying, the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:103]. And combining between the two prayers is only permissible for a legal excuse, which is travel in which the prayer is shortened and in which one breaks the fast during the day of Ramadan. In it, combining between the two prayers is permissible, bringing forward or delaying, according to what is easier for the traveler. Or in the case of illness, if the sick person needs to combine between the two prayers because performing each prayer in its time is difficult for him, he may combine between Dhuhr and Asr, and between Maghrib and Isha, in the time of one of them, bringing forward or delaying, according to what is easier for him. And likewise in the case of rain that wets the clothes and people are harmed by it when they go out to the mosque, it is permissible for them to combine between Maghrib and Isha as a concession for them. These are the excuses in which combining is permitted; combining between the prayers of Dhuhr and Asr, and Maghrib and Isha, is permitted in them: travel, illness, and rain that wets the clothes or results in mud that harms people in their going out to the mosques. In these conditions, it is permissible for them to combine between the two prayers. As for combining without an excuse from these excuses, it is not permissible. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. In that case, in the conditions you mentioned and said that Friday is permissible in, is bringing forward better or is delaying better?
The Shaykh:
The better is what is easier for the person; he follows what is easier for him.
The presenter:
If Allah wills, may Allah reward you with good.
