The questioner:
If a traveler is on a journey and it is likely that he will catch the next prayer, is it permissible for him to combine them by advancing the later prayer?
The Shaykh:
There is no harm, as long as he is traveling. If he wishes to combine, he may; if he wishes, he may pray the first one and delay the second until he prays with the congregation in his town, provided he thinks he will be able to catch them.
The questioner:
If he prays the combined prayer by advancing it and arrives in town while they have not yet prayed.
The Shaykh:
No problem, he has performed it. He said: He has performed it.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
