Ruling on Combining Prayers for Patients Undergoing Blood Dialysis

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I am a patient with blood poisoning, and every two days I undergo a blood wash. These machines remain in me for approximately five or six hours, and I may miss the Dhuhr prayer or the Maghrib prayer. I am faced with two options: either I pray this prayer in my current state, with the blood entering and exiting me through these machines, so I bow and prostrate while not facing the qiblah; or I delay it until its time passes and combine it with 'Asr or 'Isha. The question is: how should she pray while in this condition?

Answer:
This is a sick woman, my brother. This is a sick woman, and it is permissible for the sick person to combine prayers. If the procedure begins before the time of the first prayer enters, meaning she enters the procedure before the time of the first prayer, then she delays it and prays it with the prayer that follows it, as a combination of delay. If the opposite is the case, and the time of the first prayer enters before she enters the procedure, then she combines them as a combination of advance, praying the first one and combining the second with it as a combination of advance. This is a sick woman, and it is permissible for her to combine prayers, and praise be to Allah.
