Is it permissible to combine two prayers for a patient for whom performing wudu' is difficult?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace.

The Shaykh:
Peace.

The presenter:
May Allah keep you in good health, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
May Allah give you a good evening.

The presenter:
I have a question. The first question, Shaykh. There is a caller. A brother is being treated by brother 'Abdullah on the line. The Shaykh says: Go ahead, brother Musafir, and raise your voice, please.

The questioner:
I say I have two questions. The first question is that I am sick, I had an accident, and it is difficult for me to perform wudu', so I combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers, and the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers. I do not know if this is permissible or not?

The Shaykh:
Yes, if you are in the aftermath of an accident and it is difficult for you to perform wudu' for every prayer, there is no harm in combining the two prayers, Zuhr with 'Asr and Maghrib with 'Isha', either combining them early or combining them late, whichever is more convenient for you.
