Regarding the residents of the Gaza Strip, is it prescribed for us to combine the 'Isha' prayer with the Maghrib prayer by advancing the 'Isha' prayer, due to the imposition of a curfew law after nine o'clock?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student : Our brother from Palestine sent a letter regarding the curfew and the combining of prayers.
Another student: If you could answer by responding to the paper, O our Shaykh, this is what the brother is asking. You had answered this question from the brother who attended from Khan Younis about three weeks ago, but it appears he did not receive the answer.
Another student: This is from the Gaza Strip.
Another student: No, the person who came from Khan Younis.
Another student: This is from the Gaza Strip.
The Shaykh : Yes, have you heard this question? We are in the Gaza Strip, and a curfew is imposed on us at nine in the evening, and whoever goes out after nine o'clock exposes himself to danger, given that the adhan for Maghrib is at eight in the evening and 'Isha' is at nine and a third; so is it prescribed for us to combine the 'Isha' prayer with the Maghrib prayer by advancing it, even if the curfew lasts for months? And may Allah reward you with good. Note: Please answer this question in writing and in your own handwriting, explicitly mentioning your name.
The student : Heh.
The Shaykh : Before answering, before answering, if we say that emigration from this society is obligatory out of fear of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
The student : Who is speaking about this?
The Shaykh : You are not speaking, I am speaking. May Allah guide you, so that you may take this as a lesson: those who fish in murky waters ignore these sad, bitter facts and say that the Muslim there lives better than in any Arab country. Have you heard this speech, or has someone else heard it? Allah is the Helper. Allah is the Greatest.
The student : Read it, O Shaykh, so that it is recorded. Read it to them.
The Shaykh: All right.
The student : Listen, listen. May Allah bless you.
Another student: O my Shaykh.
Another student: Listen, O my brother. May Allah bless you. Listen, the Shaykh wants to read.
The Shaykh : The answer, and praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. Yes, it is permissible to combine the prayers for the weak who find no way and do not find a path to emigrate to the wide land of Allah, or at least to another area of Palestine itself, so that they can perform what Allah has made obligatory upon them. From this situation, you know that the truth is the continuation of emigration from a country where the Muslim cannot perform the obligations to a country where he can. And Muhammad Nasir al-Din Al-Albani wrote.
The student : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Who is this for?
The student : O Shaykh, if you permit, O Shaykh, is it permissible to associate?
Another student: He greets you.
The Shaykh : May Allah greet you. Welcome. May Allah bless you.
The student : O Shaykh, if you please, O Shaykh.
Another student: I have never seen you in my life.
The Shaykh : I have not seen me.
The student : It is the first time in my life that I see you in a foreign land.
The Shaykh: I have seen you.
