The questioner : What is better for the traveler: combining prayers by bringing them forward or combining them by delaying them?
The Shaykh : The best for the traveler, or anyone else for whom combining is permissible, is to do what is most convenient for him. If it is more convenient for him to bring them forward, he should bring them forward; and if it is more convenient for him to delay them, 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.
