Combining and shortening prayers for one who sleeps through the prayers while resident
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some of the students at our university sleep through the prayers, and when they wake up, they combine and shorten them.
The Shaykh:
This is a student of knowledge who does this; may Allah keep us safe from it. The prayer is more emphasized than studying at the university and all the works of this world, so he should maintain his prayer and fear Allah. A student of knowledge is a role model for others to follow, so he keeps the people[An-Nahl 16:25]. Yes, and his prayer is not valid in this form; it is not valid. He combines them in one time. What is the second thing?
The questioner:
He combines and shortens.
The Shaykh:
He has no right to shorten while he is resident and studying. He has no right to shorten. This is a resident who is studying. Yes.

لِيَحْمِلُوا أَوْزَارَهُمْ كَامِلَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ الَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍThe questioner:
