Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is preferable for the traveler, O honorable Shaykh: combining prayers by bringing them forward or combining them by delaying them?
The Shaykh : The preferable course for the traveler, or anyone else for whom combining is permissible, is to do what is most convenient for him. If bringing them forward is more convenient for him, he should bring them forward; if delaying them is more convenient for him, he should delay them. This is because the basis for the permissibility of combining is a dispensation and a facilitation, so whatever is easier is more preferable and better.
