Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on delaying the prayer until its time has passed? Is its ruling the same as abandoning it? Answer:
Answer:
No, there is a distinction here. If it is due to sleep or forgetfulness, then it is not. But if it is deliberate, then its ruling is the ruling of abandoning it, according to the correct view. In that case, he commits disbelief if he deliberately abandons it until its time has passed. The prayer is not combined with the one before it or the one after it. If it were combined, there would be a doubt involved. The majority of scholars hold that its ruling is not the ruling of abandoning it, but rather that he commits a sin.
