Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My grandmother cannot move except with great difficulty, so she cannot perform wudu' every time she wants to pray. Rather, she performs wudu' and combines the Dhuhr and 'Asr prayers, then performs wudu' and combines the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers. Is her action valid? If not, what is the solution?
Answer:
Yes, if performing wudu' for every prayer is difficult for her, she may combine the two prayers; there is no harm in that. Yes.
