Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on delaying the 'Asr and 'Isha' prayers until the time of necessity for a traveler in order to obtain an increase in reward in the virtuous places, such as the Makkah Haram?
Answer:
No, do not delay them; pray them at the beginning of their time. Do not delay them until the time of the Zuhr prayer. This is not an excuse. Seeking an increase in reward is not an excuse. Praying them at the time of choice is better than delaying them so that you pray them in the Haram.
