It mentioned an ayah from Sūrah al-Isrā’ suggesting that the prayers were divided into three larger timeframes, not five distinct ones. They also cited a hadith where the Prophet ﷺ combined prayers in Medina without difficulty. Is this valid? Can someone who is trying to get back into the habit of praying combine ṣalāh like this?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"It's a weak opinion that should be avoided.\\n\\nFor someone who is working on re-establishing the habit of praying consistently, a better approach is to use the full window of time that Allah has given for each prayer. For example, you may delay a prayer until just before its time ends, then immediately follow it with the next prayer at its earliest time. In this way, the prayers remain separate, but the difficulty of large gaps between them is reduced.\\n\\nMay Allah grant you success.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668da00c0b76658b4c232ca7","tag":"Salah: Timings","count":52}],"createdOn":"2025-09-10T16:28:37.036Z"}
