The Ruling on Combining and Shortening Prayers for the Sick
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if one combines the two prayers, does he leave them off, or does he perform the prayer properly?
Answer:
The sick person does not shorten the prayer; shortening is for the traveler. The sick person is a resident, so he performs the prayer in full, unless he is both a traveler and sick, in which case he shortens and combines for the sake of the travel and for the sake of the illness.
