The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a woman is in a public place and cannot find a place to perform the prayer, is she permitted to combine the Dhuhr and 'Asr prayers, or the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers, while she is a resident?
The Shaykh:
The woman.
The questioner:
If she is in a public place and cannot find a place to pray, is she permitted to combine Dhuhr and 'Asr, or Maghrib and 'Isha', while she is a resident?
The Shaykh:
If she is a resident, she does not combine. It is well known that women's gathering places in these lands have prayer halls. However, if she is in another land and is compelled to combine, she may combine out of dire necessity. If she is unable to pray the prayer at its proper time, she combines it with the one that follows. If she is able, she must pray it. Yes.
