The ruling on combining two prayers or delaying some prayers due to providing first aid to a patient

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have a caller with us, please go ahead. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. May Allah record your reward, if Allah wills. I have a question for the Shaykh, please. Due to my work, Shaykh, sometimes we have a patient or an injured person with us, and we delay, for example, the midday prayer with the afternoon prayer, and the sunset prayer with the night prayer, because the patient is with us, for example, transported from an accident or from home to the hospital. The prayer is sometimes delayed by two or three hours because of the injured person or the patient being taken to the hospital and receiving first aid. So I do not know the ruling in this matter, Shaykh?

Answer:
Do not delay each prayer from its time, because this does not affect the patient's condition. The prayer does not take a long time. You maintain the prayer while attending to the patient, and you will be rewarded, if Allah wills. Yes.
