The ruling on advancing the Zuhr prayer to accommodate the circumstances of the congregation

Question:
Ahmad Abd al-Rahman. When the heat becomes intense in the summer. Yes. And I want to work on this hadith. The hadith of Abu Hurayrah. It is about expediting the prayer. And ordering the people, or those who are prepared, to expedite it. They say that we have not seen anyone asking for the need, and we have not asked about the forbidden, so what is the response to them?

Answer:
Expediting the prayer is a recommended practice, not obligatory. Expediting the prayer is a recommended practice. If the people desire it, he did not order expediting the prayer except for their benefit and to accommodate them. If they request the prayer at the beginning of its time, should we not return to that?
Because their circumstances are taken into account in this matter. People nowadays are busy with work, jobs, and occupations. People in the first part of the day, during the heat, used to lengthen their time. People, until recently as we experienced, used to be free at the beginning of the day, then they would take a nap before Zuhr. They would rest before Zuhr and sleep so that the prayer would be cool for them for their comfort. But now they do not stay home and they do not rest. The situation has changed. So if the matter requires what is easier for them, which is expediting the prayer at the beginning of its time, there is no harm in that. The issue is one of accommodating the circumstances of the congregation, as was the case with 'Isha' previously. He (peace and blessings be upon him) loved to delay it, and delaying it is better. But if that entails hardship for the congregation, then the less preferred is advanced over the preferred to accommodate the circumstances of the congregation. There is no blame in that. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
