The Shaykh : Yes, Jumu'ah.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you, regarding nursing a patient.
The Shaykh : In.
The questioner : Nursing a sick person.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : A person who has shown signs of approaching death.
The Shaykh : What are the signs?
The questioner : I mean, a severely ill person.
The Shaykh : Severely ill.
The questioner : For example, one who is on the verge of death.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Does a person judge himself, if he waits a long time, that he is hesitating?
The Shaykh : I mean, this man is sick.
The questioner : When the time has passed.
The questioner : In a case like this, if he is in the time of the first prayer and combines it with the second, provided that they can be combined, then combining is permissible for him, do you understand? But delaying the prayer beyond its time when it cannot be combined with the following prayer is not permissible. He must pray, in any circumstance whatsoever. Yes.
