Combining Prayers
By Mufti Ebrahim Desai
| Q.) What is the correct ruling regarding joining the Zuhar and Asr prayer and
also Maghrib and Isha, while travelling. I have seen lot of people doing it specially here
in US, though the understanding I had was that it is not permissible in Hanafi Madhab,
whereas it is OK in Sha'afi Madhab. If some one does join these salat while claiming to be
Hanafi, would he be wrong? [Muqtada Husain Detroit, NY] |
A.) According to the Hanafi, every Salaat must be performed in its respective
time. Therefore, it is not permissible to perform two Salaats during one Salaat time.
However, due to circumstances, outwardly joining is permissible. Outwardly, joining will
be to perform, for example, Dhuhr Salaat in its last time first before Dhuhr time
terminates and Asr in its first time as soon as Asr time commences.
