The questioner : The female questioner, M.A.M. from Jordan, says that she is a student and sometimes it happens that...
The Shaykh : That she is?
The questioner : That she is a student, and she says that sometimes the school hours coincide with the time of prayer, namely at 12:00 noon for Dhuhr and 4:30 for Asr, and I am unable to pray in the school because there is no suitable place for prayer, so I am forced to combine several obligatory prayers at one time, sometimes more than three. What is the ruling on my prayer? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good. And this female questioner is from Jordan?
The Shaykh : As for combining the two prayers that are permitted to be combined, there is no harm in doing so in this situation because it is a pressing need. For example, she may combine Dhuhr and Asr, or Maghrib and Isha. As for combining Asr and Maghrib, for example, it is not permissible, because it is not permissible to delay a prayer beyond its time under any circumstances. In this situation, if she fears that the time of the current prayer, which is not combined with the one following it, will pass, she must pray it regardless of the circumstances. If, for example, she goes to school during the time of Asr and is unable to pray Asr there, let her combine Asr with Dhuhr by advancing it, and then go to school, having fulfilled her obligation. The conclusion is that it is not permissible for a woman, nor for anyone else, to combine two prayers that are not permitted to be combined. Combining is only between the two prayers that are permitted to be combined, such as combining Dhuhr and Asr, either by advancing or delaying, and combining Maghrib and Isha, either by advancing or delaying, according to what the pressing need requires. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
