The ruling on separating the combined prayer of delay or advance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If you went for 'Umrah and entered the Haram during the time of the 'Asr prayer, and you had intended to combine the Zuhr with the 'Asr by delaying, and then you reached the Haram about five minutes before the iqamah, so you prayed the Zuhr and delayed these five minutes, and then the 'Asr prayer was called, is there anything wrong with that?
No.
There is nothing wrong with that.
The questioner: What is the ruling if the combination is delayed, meaning: if there is a separation between the two prayers?The Shaykh: If the combination is a combination of delay, then the separation does not harm. And if it is a combination of advance, the scholars differed, may Allah have mercy on them: Does the separation harm or not? So the Shaykh al-Islam, may Allah have mercy on him, chose that the separation does not harm in the combination of advance, just as it does not in the combination of delay.And he said: The meaning of the combination is joining, by praying the two prayers in the time of one of them, and there is no difference between the two prayers being consecutive or not being consecutive.
No.
There is nothing wrong with that.
