The ruling on combining two prayers with a single ablution for one who suffers from obsessive doubts

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man has a condition and he suffers from obsessive doubts, and he strives to maintain ritual purity. It may be required of him to perform ablution for every prayer at its proper time. Is it permissible for him to combine two prayers with a single ablution, especially when there is a crowd?

Answer:
Yes, if performing ablution for every prayer is difficult for him, he may combine the two prayers, just as the woman with irregular bleeding is permitted to do. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation for the woman with irregular bleeding to combine the two prayers to ease her burden. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
