The time for combining the midday and afternoon prayers while shortening them

Question:
If a Muslim wants to combine prayers, is it permissible for him to pray the midday and afternoon prayers combined and shortened at any time within these two time periods?

Answer:
Yes. If he combines by advancing the prayer, he combines them in the time of the first prayer, from its beginning to its end, which is the time for combining. If he combines by delaying the prayer, he combines them in the time of the second prayer, at any moment from its beginning to its end. However, you know that the time for the night prayer is preferred until one-third of the night or until half the night, and what comes after that is a necessity, so it is not delayed to that point except out of necessity. Likewise, the time for the afternoon prayer is until the sun turns yellow, and what comes after that is a necessity, so it is not delayed to that point except out of necessity. Yes.
