Is It Sunnah To Combine Zuhur With ‘Asr And Magarib With Isha
Assalamu Alaikum
Ghamidi sahab writes in Meezan:
“From this concession granted in the prayer, the Prophet (sws) has also deduced a concession in the times it is offered, and in such journeys he has led the Muslims in prayer by combining the zuhr and ‘asr prayers together and the maghrib and ‘isha prayers together.” What I have understood that the question of concession in prayers is primarily taken by Quran. It’s practical form is decided by Sunnah, as Ghamidi sahab also writes:” The sunnah established by the Prophet (sws) in this regard is that the four rak‘at prayer shall be shortened to two. No reduction shall be made in two and three rak‘at prayers”. But when it comes to shortening of times, combining prayers; it was a deduction and not an established Sunnah. Consequently, it is not obligatory to only combine Zuhur with ‘Asr and Magarib with Isha, prayers cam be combined in any order like Asr with Magarib or Fajr with Duhur etc. Is that true?

Shorting or the prayers and combining them in the manner that only Zuhar Asr and Maghrib Isha can be joined in pairs, not in any order. This is Sunnah. Ghamidi saheb traced this act of the holy prophet as a deduction from the Qur’an. The prophet deduced this relaxation from Qur’an and made it a Sunnah.
The two prayer of day and two prayers of night are combined.

Sir When can one combine two prayers
-
When one faces a problem or difficulty in saying the prayer separately. The person involved has to decide according to his or her situation.

Thanks for answering.
So you mean this was a deduction from a verse of Quran made by Prophet SAW which he then, with the sanction of God, established as Sunnah?
We don’t see this among Hanafis, hence whole Ummah is not following this as something established from Prophet SAW, which is a condition in something being Sunnah.

Combining prayers is an established Sunnah that every Muslim recognizes and practices. Scholars, however, have sought to interpret the nature of this combination. Some argue that it involves combining prayers without altering their designated times, while others view it as a complete concession, allowing one prayer to be offered during the time of another. This difference lies in interpretation, not in practice, which remains unanimously accepted.
