Is it permissible to combine Prayer

Q: When a traveler delays offering the Maghrib (Sunset) Prayer until the time of `Isha' (Night) Prayer, should he begin with the Maghrib Prayer as it comes first in order or begin with `Isha' Prayer as this is its due time?


A: If the conditions of assigning the concessions of travel apply to this journey and the journey was for lawful purposes, then you are permitted to combine between Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer and `Asr (Afternoon) Prayer at the time of the former or the latter, and likewise between Maghrib Prayer and `Isha' Prayer according to his own circumstances. (Part No. 8; Page No. 139) If a person intends to combine between Salahs, they have to follow their order. Thus, they have to begin with Zhuhr Prayer and then `Asr Prayer. They should also begin with Maghrib Prayer and then `Isha' Prayer whether they perform them at the time of the former or the latter.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
