The ruling on delaying the prayer for the mujahideen from its time during combat.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : That is, is it permissible for the mujahideen to delay the prayer during combat, or is it obligatory for them to pray the prayer in its time, even in the midst of combat?
If we look at the apparent meaning of the hadith, which of the two possibilities do we say? The first, or the second?
The first, meaning that it is delayed. However, this indication is contradicted by the many hadiths indicating that the mujahideen pray the prayer in whatever form is possible. For this reason, many scholars held that this hadith is abrogated, and that the Muslims initially delayed the prayer from its time during the intensity of combat, but then this ruling was abrogated and it became obligatory to pray the prayer in its time to the extent of their ability. This is the position of the majority of scholars.
As for the minority of scholars, they said that if the combat becomes so intense that a fighter is unable to be aware of what he is saying and doing, then it is permissible to delay the prayer from its time. Yes.
And here is a question before we begin?
