Is it prescribed for us to combine the 'Isha' prayer with the Maghrib prayer by advancing the 'Isha' prayer in the Gaza Strip, where a curfew is imposed on us at 9:00 PM, and whoever goes out
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Our brother from Palestine who sent this paper, regarding the curfew for combining prayers... If you can, please answer by replying to the paper, O Shaykh. This is what the brother is asking. You had answered this question for the brother who came from Khan Younis about three weeks ago, but it seems they did not receive the answer.
The student: This is the Gaza Strip, this one.
The questioner: No, the person who came from Khan Younis.
The student: This is from the Gaza Strip.
The Shaykh: Yes, have you heard this question? We are in the Gaza Strip, and a curfew is imposed on us at 9:00 PM, and whoever goes out after 9:00 PM exposes himself to danger, knowing that the Maghrib adhan is at 8:00 PM and 'Isha' is at 9:20 PM. So, is it prescribed for us to combine the 'Isha' prayer with the Maghrib prayer by advancing the 'Isha' prayer, and if the curfew lasts for months? May Allah reward you with good. Note: Please answer this question in writing and in your own handwriting, and explicitly mention your name before answering. Before answering, if we say this community must be emigrated from, fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) will arise.
The student: Yes, yes, O Shaykh.
The questioner: We do not talk about this topic.
The Shaykh: You do not speak, I speak.
The questioner: He is talking about something.
The Shaykh: I am speaking, may Allah guide you, so that you may take it as a lesson.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Those who fish in murky waters.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: They ignore these unfortunate, bitter facts, and say that the Muslim there lives better than in any Arab country.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: You did not hear this, but others did. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
The questioner: The answer, so that we can record it, if you permit.
The student: After he writes the answer, be patient.
The Shaykh: They will be surprised by the answer.
The student: Half an answer is not an answer; wait until the end.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The student: If my Shaykh would read it so that it can be recorded, read it, O Shaykh, so that it can be recorded. I will read it for them.
The Shaykh: All right.
The student: Listen, may Allah bless you.
The questioner: O my Shaykh, may Allah bless you.
The student: Listen, O my brother, listen, may Allah bless you, listen, they are starting to readThe Shaykh .
The Shaykh: the answer, and praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. Yes, combining is permissible for the weak who find no way and cannot find a path to emigrate to the wide land of Allah, or at least to another area of Palestine itself, so that they can perform what Allah has made obligatory upon them. From this situation, you know that the truth is the continuation of emigration from a country where a Muslim cannot perform the obligations to a country where he can. And Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani wrote.
The questioner: O Shaykh, if you permit, O Shaykh, is it permissible...
The student: From Saudi Arabia.
The Shaykh : Welcome, welcome.
The student: I would like to greet you.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The student : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Welcome, welcome.
The student: O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The student: I have never seen you in my life.
The Shaykh: Have you not seen me?
The student: It is the first time in my life I see you; I was abroad for thirty years.
The Shaykh: I have seen you.
The student: Have you seen me... if Allah wills.
The student: May you be successful, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Welcome, welcome.
