The questioner : Is there hardship if one returns from travel or stays up at night in combining prayers...?
The Shaykh : Not in every case. The scholars said that combining prayers is permissible in this situation. Let us suppose, for example, that a man is at the time of the Maghrib prayer and he is feeling very, very drowsy, and he cannot bear to wait until 'Isha', and he fears that if he sleeps he will not wake up until Fajr. In this case, he may combine the prayers. The standard is what Ibn 'Abbas said: hardship. Yes, Khalid.
