Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Your Eminence, is it permissible to combine the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers without traveling, for any other reason?
Answer:
The correct ruling is that it is not permissible. It was permissible at first, then Allah prescribed the times. In the early days of Islam, it was permissible, then Allah prescribed the times, so it is obligatory to perform the prayers in their times: Zuhr in its time, 'Asr in its time, Maghrib in its time, and 'Isha' in its time, except for a cause such as travel, where combining is permissible, or illness, or rain. If there is rain or slippery ground, combining is permissible, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained. Yes.
