What is the ruling on one who delays the 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Isha' prayers until Fajr due to severe illness?

Question:
I fell ill one day and was admitted to the hospital before the 'Asr prayer. I did not pray 'Asr, Maghrib, or 'Isha' until Fajr, and this was because I was unable to do so. Is my action valid, knowing that I was not in a coma?

Answer:
As for the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers before Fajr, they are within their time, because the time for 'Isha' had not ended. In the case of an excuse, it is permissible to combine Maghrib and 'Isha' by delaying them. Since you were ill, you combined them and prayed them before Fajr; there is no harm in that. As for 'Asr, praying it at night is making up a missed prayer (qada'); it is not performing it in its proper time (ada'). If you left the 'Asr prayer because you were unable to pray it at its time due to illness, and then when your illness subsided you prayed it after its time had passed, this is what is obligatory. This counts as making up 'Asr, not performing it in its proper time. Yes.
