Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a pilgrim combines and shortens the prayer in Mina, is that to be criticized?
In Mina, there is no combining of prayers.
The questioner: If he combines out of ignorance.
The Shaykh: If he combines, there is no harm; because he is a traveler, and it is permissible for a traveler to combine. But should he choose to combine when he has the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his family?The questioner: No, he should not choose it, but we do not criticize him for it.
The Shaykh: No.
It becomes clear to him, and she says: This is contrary to the Sunnah, but a person may be excused, either because wudu' is difficult for him, or because water is scarce, or something similar to that among the excuses, so there is no harm in combining.
