Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is connecting one prayer to another forbidden?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited this, such as when he informed Mu'awiyah that he should say the taslim and then stand up without saying "I seek forgiveness from Allah," without remembering Allah, and without saying anything.
Q: If one leaves the mosque before reciting the dhikr, is it possible for him to return a second time, or should he recite the dhikr?
The Shaykh: There is no blame on him; they are all voluntary.
