The questioner:
Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you.
The presenter:
May Allah keep you safe. May Allah welcome you.
The questioner:
I have a question, Shaykh, may Allah forgive you. Go ahead. I prayed the Maghrib prayer, or I was traveling and prayed. My destination is about twenty kilometers, or perhaps more, away from me. Do I pray the 'Isha' prayer, or do I continue my journey and combine the prayers? Good, the question is clear.
The Shaykh:
Both are permissible. If you combine them, it is permissible. And if you pray Maghrib in its time, and when you reach your town you pray 'Isha' in its time, that is better. Yes.
Peace be upon you.
