Ruling on combining the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers for a resident
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have a sick child whom I am treating in Germany. During this period, I have been shortening the prayers. The time between Maghrib and 'Isha' is about two hours, and the red twilight does not appear there. So, am I required to combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers?
Answer:
Pray the prayer at its time in any place. Pray the prayer at its time in every place, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. You are a resident, not a traveler, so you do not combine the prayers as every traveler does, or as every sick person does. You are neither a traveler nor a sick person. Pray every prayer at its time.
