Ruling on combining the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers for a resident
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from France says: I am a resident in France, and these days the time for Maghrib enters at ten at night, and the time for 'Isha' is after midnight, and Fajr is at three in the morning, which is three hours after 'Isha'. Most of the time, I sleep before the time for 'Isha' enters. Is it permissible for me to combine Maghrib and 'Isha' by advancing them for all the days?
Answer:
It is not permissible for you to combine them in that manner, as that is for the traveler or the sick person who needs it. Otherwise, every prayer is to be prayed in its time. Leave your laziness, sluggishness, and surrender to comfort. Guard your religion and your prayers.[Al-Mu'minun 23:9] Guard your religion, especially the prayers in their times and in congregation. Yes.

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
