The ruling on combining the two prayers for those on guard duty?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I seek Allah's forgiveness. The questioner says: I am obligated to work in the city of Najran, staying there for fifteen days on guard duty, and then returning to my family for fifteen days. Is it permissible to combine the prayers, given that the official in charge of religious matters has issued a fatwa permitting this?
Answer:
It is permissible for them to combine the prayers at their place of work, the location of the guard duty. It is permissible for them to combine the prayers if they need to do so at the location of the guard duty for the sake of maintaining the security. However, if they are residing in a place other than the guard duty location, merely waiting for their turn and time, then they do not combine the prayers and do not shorten them, because they are residents. Yes.
