The Ruling on Combining Prayers Without Fear or Illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This question is originally about the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) combined prayers while resident, without fear or rain. He asks: Is this hadith mawquf (stopping at a Companion)? Without fear or illness, or without fear or flight? Without fear or illness. This hadith is problematic; it is one of the difficult issues regarding the presence of the young man, because he mediated with it
Answer:
and did not explain it. But he says: It is not permissible to combine except for a reason, except for a legal reason: either illness, or fear, or travel. There is no combining except for a reason.
Some scholars say that the intended meaning of the combining is Syrian combining, that is, combining the two. It is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the first prayer until the end of its time and brought forward the second prayer to the beginning of its time. So he combined them: this one at the end of its time and this one at the beginning of its time. It became as if he combined them, but in reality he did not combine; rather, each prayer was in its time. This is called combining the two.
Some scholars directed the hadith because the intended meaning is the state of rain, or without fear or illness. It indicates that the intended meaning is in the state of rain, because combining does not exist except for one of these states: either illness, or travel, or rain. So he negated illness and negated fear, so only rain remained. Allah knows best.
