Q 1: During our cultivation season, we have a month which we call the month of "Al-`ilan" or hashish, and during that month men and women harvest the grass from sunrise to sunset, missing Zhuhr (Noon) and `Asr (Afternoon) Prayers. The number of working women exceeds that of men. Those workers do not offer Prayers at their due time. When the time of Maghrib (Sunset) Prayer is due, they combine with it Zhuhr and `Asr Prayers. What is the ruling regarding these people? Please advise.
A:
It is impermissible to
delay Salah (Prayer) after its due time except if you are traveling or are a patient with prior intention of combining Prayers at the time of the latter Prayer. But if you are a healthy resident, you have to offer each Salah at its due time. Work conditions are not an excuse for delaying Salah (Part No. 5; Page No. 134

Therefore, what these people do is impermissible; rather this is a great sin that they have to repent to Allah from and resolve not to do again. Allah (Exalted be He) says:
Verily, As-Salât (the prayer) is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours.
This means prescribed at fixed times during which they should be performed and not delayed until their due time is over. They have to repent to Allah from that misdeed and resolve not to commit such a sin again.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
