Combining the midday and afternoon prayers for a traveler before arrival
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says (may Allah preserve him): I was traveling and had not prayed the midday prayer. A quarter of an hour before arriving at my place of residence, I combined the midday prayer with the afternoon prayer, knowing that there was still half an hour remaining until the time for the afternoon prayer.
Answer:
It is permissible if you remained on the road and did not intend to arrive, and you combined them, then you have exercised the dispensation, and praise be to Allah. However, it would have been better if you had delayed the afternoon prayer until you arrived and prayed it with the congregation in its proper time. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
