    In the light of the Qur’anic verses and frequent hadiths related to performing the prayer on time, commentators, muhadditheen, jurists, and scholars agree that it is obligatory to perform the obligatory prayer at its fixed and fixed time and it is a sin to perform the obligatory prayer before or after the prescribed time without a Shariah excuse. It is big.

    A few verses related to praying on time:

    Indeed, prayer is obligatory on the believers at fixed times.

    Protect the prayers (Surat al-Baqarah 238). Commentator of the Qur’an, Allama Ibn Katheer, writes in the commentary of this verse that Allah Ta’ala commands the protection of performing prayers on time.

    And those who guard their prayers (Surah al-Ma’arij 34) Commentator of the Qur’an, Ibn Katheer, writes in the commentary of this verse that those people protect the prayer times, members, obligations, and mustahabb.

    فَوَيلٌ لِّلِمُسِلِينَ الَّذينَ هُمْ عَنْ سَلَِّّتُمْ Sahoonَ (Surah Al-Ma’oon 4 and 5) So there is a great evil for those worshipers who are lazy in their prayers. The commentators have written that not performing the prayer on time is included in the promise of this verse.

    In the Holy Quran (Surah Al-Nisa verse 102), the state of prayer of fear and its principles and manners have been described. The state of prayer of fear has been described in several hadiths, from which it is clear that there is room for mitigation only in the state of prayer on the battlefield and at the time of war; But time is not allowed to be neglected; Rather, it is important to be punctual as much as possible. It is known that if there is a war with the infidels and at that time even a little laziness can cause defeat, then it is not permissible to read the dunamaz after the end of the time of one or before the start of the other. Rather, the prayer will be performed on time, otherwise, it will have to be performed after the time has passed, just as the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed the prayer for not performing the prayer on time during the Battle of Ahzab.

    A few Prophetic hadiths regarding praying on time:

    There are a number of hadiths related to prayer times in the books of hadith, one of which is that Hazrat Abdullah bin Masoud (RA) says: I asked the Holy Prophet (SAW) which action is the most pleasing to Allah. Which is more favorite? So he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: To perform the prayer at its time. He asked which action was more beloved after that. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: To serve parents. He then asked which action was more beloved after that. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Jihad in the way of Allah. (Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)

    In the same way, the hadith of the Imamate of Hazrat Jibreel (A.S.) has been narrated by several Companions, in which it is mentioned that Hazrat Jibreel (A.S.) led the Imam and led the Prophet (S.A.W.) in prayer for 2 days. On the first day, he recited every prayer for the first time, and on the second day he recited it for the last time, then he said that the time of every prayer was between these two times. (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi)

    The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) always offered his prayers on time. It is narrated from Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day during the Battle of Ahzab, due to the intensity of the battle, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) died in the Asr prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited his qadha after sunset and cursed the infidels in harsh words that these people distracted us from Asr prayer, may Allah fill their houses and graves with fire. (Sahih Bukhari Chapter Ghazwah Al-Khandaq, Sahih Muslim)

    Consider that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) during his journey to Taif, when he was bloodied, the angel appeared in front of him and offered to crush him, but the mercy of the world only prayed for guidance for him. ; But due to the resistance of the infidels during the battle, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was so shocked that he cursed them in the strongest terms.

    On the authority of Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “Whoever performs two prayers together without any excuse has committed a major sin.” (At-Tirmidhi, the chapter was written in al-Jamal bin al-Salatin)

    One of the narrators of this hadith has been called weak by Imam Tirmidhi; However, the content of this hadith is supported by other texts of the Qur’an and hadith. Also, Imam Hakim  has recognized him as strong.

    Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that the omission in prayer is to delay one prayer until the time of another prayer. (Sahih Muslim Chapter Qada Salah al-Faitha)

    Inter-Islamic Deposits:

    In the light of the Quran and Hadith, the Muslim Ummah agrees that every prayer should be performed at its proper time. This is what is required in Islamic Shari’ah, one should follow it throughout life and invite others to it; But if a person wants to combine two prayers due to travel or some Shariah excuse, then the jurists and scholars differ in this regard. A group of jurists and scholars have permitted collective offerings and delays in Zuhr and Asr due to travel or heavy rain, as well as allowing collective offerings and delays in Maghrib and Isha; But the second group of jurists and scholars have not allowed the true collection in the light of Prophetic hadiths. This is also the opinion of Imam Abu Hanifah, the famous Tabi-e-Juqee, who was born in 80 Hijri. This is also the position of the Hindu-Pak scholars. This group of jurists and scholars, those hadiths in which the mention of Jama bin al-Salatin

    Certainly, I’ll provide you with information on whether the Zuhr and Asr prayers can be combined in the Hanafi and Shafi’i schools of thought, especially in the context of travel and the validity of combining these prayers according to Islamic jurisprudence. I will also address the concept of “Traweeh” and “Hajj” briefly.

    Hanafi School of Thought:

    1. Combining Zuhr and Asr during Travel (Qasr):

    • According to the Hanafi school, during travel (typically a journey of 48 miles or more), it is permissible to combine the Zuhr and Asr prayers and perform them both at the time of either one of the two prayers (either Zuhr or Asr).
    • Both prayers are shortened to two rak’ahs when combined during travel.
    • This practice is known as “Qasr” and “Jam’.”

    2. Combining Outside of Travel:

    • In the Hanafi school, combining the Zuhr and Asr prayers outside of travel, without a valid reason like fear or illness, is generally not permitted.

    Shafi’i School of Thought:

    1. Combining Zuhr and Asr during Travel (Qasr):

    • In the Shafi’i school, during travel, you can combine the Zuhr and Asr prayers, offering them together at the time of either one.
    • However, unlike the Hanafi school, you don’t shorten the prayers during travel in the Shafi’i school; you still pray the full four rak’ahs for each prayer.

    2. Combining Outside of Travel:

    • In the Shafi’i school, combining the Zuhr and Asr prayers outside of travel is generally not permitted unless there are specific, valid reasons, such as fear or illness.

    Traweeh:

    • Traweeh refers to the additional nightly prayers offered during the month of Ramadan. It is a recommended Sunnah practice in both the Hanafi and Shafi’i schools of thought. These prayers are separate from the five daily obligatory prayers.

    Hajj:

    • Hajj is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and a mandatory religious pilgrimage for Muslims who are physically and financially able to undertake it. It involves a set of rituals and prayers performed in a specific sequence during the annual Hajj season in the Islamic lunar calendar.

    In summary, in the context of combining the Zuhr and Asr prayers:

    • The Hanafi school permits the combination and shortening of these prayers during travel.
    • The Shafi’i school allows the combination during travel but without shortening the prayers.
    • Combining these prayers outside of travel is generally not encouraged in either school unless there are valid reasons, such as fear or illness.

  6. Hafiz Hafeez Ur Rehman

    In Islamic practice, the five daily prayers (Salat) are performed at specific times throughout the day and night. These prayers are known as Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha. Each prayer has a prescribed time frame within which it should be performed, and combining two separate prayers, such as Zohar (Dhuhr) and Asr, is generally allowed under certain specific circumstances, as recognized in Islamic jurisprudence. This practice is known as “combining” or “jam’ (جمع)” in Arabic.

    Here are some situations when combining Zohar and Asr prayers may be permitted:

    1. Travel: When a Muslim is traveling a significant distance (usually defined as a journey of at least 48 miles or 77 kilometers), they have the option to combine the Dhuhr and Asr prayers during the time of either of these two prayers. This is done to make it more convenient for travelers and to accommodate the challenges of being on the road.
    2. Rain or Other Adverse Weather Conditions: In cases of heavy rain or severe weather conditions where it becomes difficult to perform Salat outdoors or while traveling, Muslims are allowed to combine Dhuhr and Asr or Maghrib and Isha prayers to avoid discomfort and hardship.
    3. Fear or Emergency Situations: In situations where a Muslim is in a state of fear or emergency, they may combine prayers as a concession to reduce the risk or discomfort they may face.

    It’s important to note that while combining prayers is allowed in these specific circumstances, it should not become a regular practice when there is no valid reason. Muslims are encouraged to perform their prayers on time whenever possible. Additionally, the rules and criteria for combining prayers may vary among different schools of Islamic jurisprudence (e.g., Hanafi, Shafi’i, Maliki, and Hanbali), so it’s advisable to consult with a knowledgeable religious authority or scholar from your specific school of thought for guidance on this matter.
