    Default Combining prayers, when it is needed..

    Salaam alaikum

    Unfortunately I have a very busy scheduel, whereas I some time miss some of the prayers (fx Asr and maghreb). Is it possible to combine my prayers, if it means that I am going to miss them?

    I hope to get an elaborated answer

    SAlaam alaikum

    as Muslims it should be our utmost duty to make sure our salah is prayed and also that it is prayed on time.

    Allah [Azza Wa Jal] says in the Quran: "Verily, Salah is enjoined upon believers at FIXED hours".

    any deviation from this direct command will be considered unlawful!

    some Scholars are of the opinion that one can combine prayers [out of its stipulated time], but the condition for this is that you have to be on a journey, be ill or really bad weather.

    since you belong to the Hanafi Maddhab you are not allowed to even combine prayers regardless of any situation, be it journey, illness etc. the only situation your allowed to combine prayers out of its stipulated time is intense Jihad.

    but if your condition is so bad that you have missed your prayers then the best thing for you to do is practice Jam'al as-Surri [apparent combining]

    this is when you pray for example Dhuhr just before the end of Dhuhr [the time of Dhuhr finishes] then as soon as it hits 'Asr you will pray 'Asr. in the literal sense you are combining but at the same time you are not conflicting with the Dhahiri [literal] verse in the Quran which tell the believers to pray the prayers at its specified time.

    as Muslims we should strive to pray all our Prayers on time and with Jam'aah. Insha-Allah.

    It is reported from Abu Umamah from the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alayhi WaSallam) that he said:

    اتَّقُوا فِرَاسَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِ ، فَإِنَّهُ يَنْظُرُ بِنُورِ اللَّهِ

    " Fear the Insight of the Believer, for verily he sees with the Light of God"
