What is the validity of the prayer of a sick person who combines and shortens the prayer in the hospital?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a person is sick in the hospital and stayed there for a period. During this period, he combined the prayers and shortened them. What is the ruling on his prayers? Does he have to repeat them or not?

Answer:
This is ignorance; even some of the imams of the mosques, when they combine for rain, they shorten the prayer. This has happened to them repeatedly. This is a great ignorance. It is not permissible to shorten the prayer; it is only permissible in travel. This person is not a traveler; he is a resident. However, combining for illness is permissible for him, but shortening is not permissible. His prayer is invalid, and he has to repeat all the prayers he shortened in the hospital. Yes.
