Abstract

The Majority of jurists said that it is lawful to combine two prayers, excluding Hanifa who said that is not lawful except in Arafa and Muzdalifah. If its causes are permissible.

the majority of jurists said that it is not valid to combine two prayers cause of the absence of acceptable need and excuse, if there are no reasons for combining such as illness, travel, and rain. while some jurists said that the validity of the combining is permissible if there is a need or excuse, even if it is not found in the reasons mentioned by the jurists.

Concerning the combination of prayers in countries where twilight delayed or absent at all, the former Jurists did not have any arguments about (the combination) of Sunset {Maghrib} and Evening {Isha} prayer, as they did not think that it as a license, because the reasons for the combining known, but they are only required to estimate the exact time of prayer. The Hanafi school said that it is not lawful to combine two prayers except in Arafa and Muzdalifah. The Maliki school restricted the combination for five reasons, while the Shafi'i concluded the combining in the rain and travel, while Hanbalis said that there are possibilities in the combination of prayers if twilight is not absent, is it (work)?, absolute (hardship) ?, (sleepiness) and (sleep)?, the inability to define the time, or combine to attach the group (Gamaa prayer)?. In this Madhab, this issue is considerable and controversial.

Some recent scholars have permitted the absolute combination, and some permitted the combination in the event of the absence of twilight or delayed with existence of conditions. However; Scientists of the Standing Committee have prevented the combination.
