Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We are taking a call from Fares from al-Layth. Go ahead, Fares. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. And upon you be peace. How are you, Shaykh? Welcome, yes. I travel one hundred and fifty kilometers a day to work. And I come back. Is it permissible to combine the midday and afternoon prayers? He says: He travels a distance of one hundred and fifty kilometers and prays the midday and afternoon prayers, combining them, Shaykh?
Answer:
Yes, on the road there is no harm in combining the midday and afternoon prayers. If the time for the midday prayer enters while he is on the road, he prays it and offers the afternoon prayer with it as a combination of advancing, or he delays the midday prayer and prays it with the afternoon prayer as a combination of delaying, as long as he is on the road. Yes.
