Keeping attendance in lectures is not an excuse that allows combining Salahs


413

Q 2: My town is located 12 km away from the place where I study, and sometimes I do not have a break between lectures, and consequently if I attend the lectures on time (Part No. 7; Page No. 43) I will miss the Zhuhr (Noon) and `Asr (Afternoon) Prayers, so can I combine and shorten the two Salahs (Prayers)?


A: You are duty-bound to offer each Salah in its due time without combining or shortening them as you are not traveling. The distance you commute is not considered travel. Furthermore, keeping attendance in lectures is not an excuse that allows combining Salahs, for you can offer the due Salah within a few minutes then join the lecture again.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
