Is it permissible for the employees of the Civil Defense to combine Salahs


630

Q 2: In some accidents, we keep working for a long time; what is the ruling on shortening and combining Salah (Prayer) in this case?


A: If you cannot offer Salah at its due time, due to being occupied in averting a serious danger, you should form the intention to combine it with the Salah that follows, if they can be combined; such as the Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer with the `Asr (Afternoon) Prayer and the Maghrib (Sunset) Prayer with the `Isha' (Night) Prayer. If it cannot be combined with another Salah such as the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer, you can offer it directly after you finish with your work at the accident site.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
