Can these five times be made into three times?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Can these five times be made into three times?
Yes, not by shortening, but by combining.
A person may have an excuse that permits him to combine the midday and afternoon prayers, and the sunset and night prayers.
In that case, the time for the midday prayer and the time for the afternoon prayer become one time, and the time for the sunset prayer and the time for the night prayer become one time.
The third remains the time for the dawn prayer, which is why the dawn prayer is not combined with what comes before it or what comes after it.
