Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a message received from a questioner for the program. He says: Honorable Shaykh, are the bride and groom excused for delaying the Fajr prayer until the sun rises on the night of consummation, because they were unable to perform the full ritual bath (ghusl) due to its impossibility for many reasons? And we heard that a man is excused to pray at home for three days. What is the authenticity of that?
Answer:
It is not permissible to delay the prayer from its time. They are in a settled location and have access to water. They should perform the ablution (wudu') and pray within the time. It is not permissible to delay the prayer from its time. However, if it happens that they are unable to obtain water, they should perform dry ablution (tayammum) with clean earth and pray. They should not delay the prayer. As for the dispensation allowing him to stay with his bride for three days, some jurists have stated this, but there is no evidence for it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
