The 'Asr prayer for one who sleeps after work and combines the two prayers on the plane
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the present time, after returning from work or study, if a man sleeps, he may miss the 'Asr prayer.
The Shaykh:
It is possible to combine the prayer whose time has entered upon him while he is in Cairo with the one that follows it, combining Zuhr with 'Asr by delaying it. He delays it until he lands and prays Zuhr and 'Asr, even if it is at the end of the Zuhr time or before the sun sets. Likewise, if he combines Maghrib with 'Isha' in the time of 'Isha', he delays Maghrib and prays it when he lands, even if it is before the dawn breaks. This is a wide time and it is not disliked. However, if the flight is long such that the time of the two prayers passes while he is on the plane, he prays on the plane according to his situation.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the present time, after returning from work or...
The Shaykh:
Likewise, one of the solutions regarding the plane is that if the time of the first prayer enters before the plane takes off, he can combine the second one and pray it with it. For example, if the time of Zuhr enters and the plane has not yet taken off, he prays Zuhr and 'Asr at the beginning of the Zuhr time. May Allah preserve him. Likewise, if the time of Maghrib enters and the plane has not yet taken off, he prays Maghrib and... If Allah wills, the legal solutions and solutions for Allah exist.
What is the limit for shortening the prayer? No, if he is outside the town, he shortens it. But if he is in the town he is traveling to, I heard that shortening does not begin until he leaves the town.
