It is not permissible to combine the prayers without an excuse

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. The last question is from our brother in Addis Ababa. He asks: Is it permissible to combine the prayers without an excuse? And is it permissible to advance them or delay them? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is not permissible to combine the prayers, meaning that Allah has made the prayers obligatory at specific times, and it is not permissible to take them out of those times or bring them forward of them. He, Glorified and Exalted, said: And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pray the prayer at its time." Allah, Glorified and Exalted, has threatened those who delay the prayer from its time. He, the Exalted, said: He, the Exalted, said: . Forgetting the prayer and wasting it mean delaying it from its time, and they also mean being preoccupied with it by thoughts and worldly matters that prevent humility, so in any case, the issue of time is one of the most important issues regarding the prayer. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Allah has a work in the night that He does not accept in the day, and He has a work in the day that He does not accept in the night," so it is necessary to perform the prayers at their times. And He, the Exalted, said: , and among the ways of preserving the prayers is performing them at their times. However, if there is an excuse for combining the two prayers, such as travel that permits shortening, or an illness that makes it difficult for a person to perform each prayer at its time, then it is permissible for him to combine them, or for the sake of rain that wets the clothes or heavy mud, it is permissible for him to combine the two 'Isha' prayers to remove hardship, by combining the Zuhr and 'Asr for illness and travel, and combining the two 'Isha' prayers for these two excuses: rain that wets the clothes and heavy mud. This is what the evidence has come with. As for combining the prayers without an excuse, such as combining the five prayers at one time as some ignorant people or some who do not care about their religion do, saying "whenever I am free I will pray," or combining the Zuhr and 'Asr or the Maghrib and 'Isha' without a legal excuse, then this prayer is not valid. The prayer that is taken out of its time is not valid from him, because one of the conditions for the validity of the prayer is that it is performed at the time in which Allah prescribed it. Yes.
