Praying the 'Isha' prayer before its time for a traveler who forgets to combine
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: What if I forget to combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers?
The Shaykh:
If he is unable to reach the Black Stone, that is one thing; but if he is able to reach the Black Stone, he touches it, wipes it with his hand, and kisses it, so that he can do this.
The questioner:
The questioner says: If I forget to combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers while I am traveling, am I allowed to pray the 'Isha' prayer even if its time has not entered?
The Shaykh:
No, you do not pray it before its time unless you combine it with the first prayer. Because if you combine it with the first prayer, their times become one time. Their times become one time if you combine them by advancing or by delaying. The time becomes one time for the two prayers. But if you do not combine them, each prayer has its own specific time. Yes.
