Ruling on performing the Zuhr prayer before its time has entered, prior to travel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Please go ahead. I traveled to the UAE, and the Zuhr prayer became obligatory for me, meaning there was perhaps a quarter of an hour left until its time. The plane, meaning they announced that we should board the plane, so I prayed the combined and shortened prayer before the Zuhr prayer, a quarter of an hour before its time, advancing it. Is my prayer valid or not?
Answer:
No, this is not valid. Advancing the prayer before its time has entered is not permissible. If you had delayed it and combined it with the second prayer when you arrived in the UAE, because the distance is short, it would have been a combination by delay. That is what is obligatory for you. However, if you prayed before the time had entered, your prayer is not valid, so you must repeat it.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
