Delaying the Prayer of Fear during combat and making it up afterward
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: One of my colleagues who is stationed on the border engages with the enemy. Some of the colleagues stationed on the border engage with the enemy, and some of them prayed the Prayer of Fear while fighting the enemy. Then a person came to them and said, "You may not pray until a day or two later, and you can make up these prayers afterward if you are compelled to do so."
The Shaykh:
This person is ignorant. He confuses the issue for them. It is permissible for them to pray the Prayer of Fear as Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has prescribed it.[An-Nisa 4:102] This is the Prayer of Fear in the Qur'an. This person comes and says, "You can leave the prayer and pray it later." This is not permissible. He should pray at its time according to his ability. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My wife is pregnant in her first month,
The Shaykh:
And it is obligatory for you to report this person to someone who can restrain him, because he is issuing rulings to people out of ignorance. Yes.

And when you are among them and lead them in prayer, let a group of them stand [in prayer] with you
وَإِذَا كُنتَ فِيهِمْ فَأَقَمْتَ لَهُمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَلْتَقُمْ طَائِفَةٌ مِّنْهُم مَّعَكَThe presenter:
