Combining the midday and afternoon prayers for a patient on hemodialysis
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A second question, if you please. Go ahead. I am on dialysis. Yes. Sometimes I start my hemodialysis session before the midday prayer, and when I go home, I combine the afternoon and midday prayers. I do not pray the midday or the afternoon prayer separately; I combine all four units. Is there anything required of me?
The Shaykh:
When do you enter the laundry, my brother?
The questioner:
I enter before Zuhr.
The Shaykh:
And when do you leave?
The questioner:
I leave after 'Asr.
The Shaykh:
Yes, you combine Zuhr with 'Asr as a combination by delay when you leave.
The questioner:
When I pray Zuhr, I say, "By Allah, from Zuhr and this is 'Asr."
The Shaykh:
What do you say? You pray and that is it. You intend Zuhr and pray it, and you intend 'Asr and pray it with your heart.
The questioner:
Meaning, one after the other.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good.
The presenter:
Thank you, my brother Sulayman,
