Is it correct to say that combining prayers is permissible as long as it does not become a habit?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This is a continuation of the topic. Some people say: Combining prayers is permissible on the condition that it does not become a habit. What is your response to that? If the curfew continues for more than two months, meaning if the time of 'Isha' falls within the curfew for more than three or four months, they say combining is permissible on the condition that it does not become a habit. So what is your answer to that? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : The answer is clear, may Allah bless you. The intended meaning of those who say "it should not become a habit" is in normal, natural circumstances.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
