Combining the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers due to sleep and the time of 'Asr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. To complete his question, he says: Also, my work is in the evening, and my sleep time falls during the day. Is it permissible for me to combine the Zuhr prayer with the 'Asr prayer?

Answer:
No, not for the sake of sleep. No. Regarding the 'Asr prayer: when the shadow of a standing object becomes twice its length, the time for 'Asr begins and continues until just before the sun sets. This is the time of choice. When the sun approaches setting, it becomes a time of necessity until sunset. The time for 'Asr is extended, and praise be to Allah. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
