The ruling on combining two prayers for the sick person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah bless you and reward you. This questioner, Muhammad Yahya from Abha, says: He asks about a man who suffers from weakness in some of the blood vessels of his brain; sometimes when he prostrates, he faints. What is the ruling on his ablution and his prayer? And is he allowed to combine the two prayers?
The Shaykh:
Combining is according to need. If it is difficult for him to perform ablution for every prayer, there is no harm in combining the two prayers in one ablution due to the illness, and this is part of removing hardship from him. Combining the two prayers in the time of one of them for the sick person is a legitimate religious excuse. Yes.
The questioner:
How are the remembrances recited in the two combined prayers?
The Shaykh:
When he says the closing salam of the second prayer, he recites the remembrances. Yes.
