Q&A/Fatwas

QUESTION: I am to catch a flight soon and I’m worried about not being able to pray esha on time. Can I combine and pray esha at maghrib time? Similarly on my way to the airport there is a risk of not being able to pray asr on time, again can I pray asr at zuhr time and combine? Also upon reaching destination I will be there for 7/8 days can I combine prayers while I am there for those 7/8 days

ANSWER: 1- You must pray on time if you did not start your journey yet. If you fear that you will arrive to your destination after the isha time is over and you can’t pray properly on the airplane, and your flight is before isha time starts, you can combine isha to your maghreb.
