The Shaykh : Can we make the five times into two?
Pay attention, be patient with me for a moment.
According to the method of the workers, the method of the workers, because I have heard that some workers work and combine the midday and afternoon prayers, and the sunset and night prayers, until they finish their work,
then they pray all four together, and they pray the dawn prayer when they wake up from sleep.
But this method is invalid, there is no doubt about it.
Therefore, it is not permissible by the Shari'ah for the times to be anything other than three times only, or five, five without a cause that permits combining, and three for the cause that permits combining.
Is that clear? Good.
