Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Sa'd, O Shaykh, says that she is accompanying her mother for treatment. Her mother combines the prayers due to the difficulty of moving her body. What is the ruling on this, given that they are traveling?
Answer:
Yes, the sick person combines, whether he is traveling or not, if he needs to combine, because the prayer is burdensome for him at its times. He combines the midday prayer with the afternoon prayer, and the sunset prayer with the night prayer, to make it easier for him. It is permissible to combine because of illness. This is one of the excuses that permit combining. Yes.
