2 - Delivering two Khutbahs with a sitting rest between them. All the narrations reported regarding this point are weak and not affirmed -as An-Nawaw? stated. (1)
[65] Mistakes regarding combining two Sal?ts in residence:
The general principle which the adherents to Sunnah and Jam?‘ah follow states that every Sal?t should be done on its due time -which was prescribed in the prophet’s ( - ) Ah?d?th with neither advancing nor delaying except for a considerable Shar‘ reason- that is affirmed in the Fiqh compilations and Shar‘ texts support it.
Accordingly, a muslim must not perform a whole Sal?t or part of it -before its time is due for this is of violating All?h’s ( - عز وجل -) laws and of mocking His ?y?t [Qur’anic verses].
The following points discuss some mistakes done when combining between Salaw?t:
[1/ 65] The Sh?‘ah Mathhab:
It states the permissibility of combining between Thuhr and ‘Asr Sal?t and between the Maghrib and ‘Ish?’ Sal?t in general, whether in residence or in journey, whether there is a need to do so or not and whether early combination or delayed combination. All Sh?‘ah followers -every where- follow this Mathhab!! (2)
Some scholars (3) has totally misunderstood this matter and reported that some Sunnah scholars consider combining between the two Sal?ts with no excuse or need as permissible.
(1) See: “Fiqhus Sunnah” (vol. 1 / p. 322) and “Tam?mul Minnah” (p. 348).
(2) See: “Al-Jam‘u Bainaus Sal?tain” by: Husain Al-‘?mil? (pp.21 - 6), “Was?’ilush Sh?‘ah” (vol. 3 / pp. 161 - 2), Al-M?jaz Fil Fighil Isl?m? Al-Muq?ran” (p. 260) and our book: “Al-Jam‘u Bainas Sal?tain Fil Hadar Bi‘uthril Matr” (p. 22).
(3) Such as: Abdil Lat?f Al-Bagd?d? in his “Al-Jam‘u Baina Far?datain F? Daw’il Kit?b? Was Sunnati Wal Ijm?‘” and Husain Y?suf Al-‘?mil? in his treatise “Al-Jam‘u Bainas Sal?tain”, both are Sh?‘tes! The former even went far than that he defamed and insulted the great Sah?b? Ab? Hurairah ( - رضي الله عنه -). Nothing detained me from returning the insult in doubles back to him and presenting that great Sah?b?’s status and noble manner and reliability he enjoyed but the purpose of this book.
