Combining the Two Prayers Out of Fear of Sleep
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, is it permissible for me to combine two prayers by advancing the later one, such as Maghrib and 'Isha', if I am afraid I will fall asleep and miss the reward?
Answer:
No, sleep does not permit you to combine the prayers. Pray the first prayer, then sleep if you wish to sleep, and appoint someone to wake you for the prayer, or do something that will wake you for the prayer. Yes.
