Question:
The sister Umm Khalid says: Shaykh, my mother is very ill and bedridden, and it is difficult for her to stand up and go to the restrooms. Is it permissible for her, for example, to combine the midday prayer with the afternoon prayer, and the sunset prayer with the night prayer?
Answer:
If she prays with wudu' (the ablution for prayer) but it is difficult for her to perform wudu' for every prayer, then she combines the midday and afternoon prayers, and the sunset and night prayers, in the time of one of them. There is no objection to combining them, as this is a dispensation for the sick person. Yes.
