Combining prayers for the sick person and the apparent combination
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a man is sick, is it permissible for him to combine prayers? And is it true, as is said, that it becomes an apparent combination by delaying the first prayer and advancing the second?
The Shaykh:
What is the position of the Hanafis? The Hanafis do not consider it a combination; rather, they say that the apparent combination is valid, because it is not a combination, but only a combination within the time according to the Hanafis. As for the non-Hanafis, the majority hold that if a sick person needs to combine, he combines. Yes.
The presenter:
That is the end.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
