still tend to practice extremism and indulge themselves in hardships!!

* Detering others form combining between Thuhr and ‘Asr Salaw?t in residence.

[5/ 65] Some Fuqah?’ held the legality of combination between the Maghrib and ‘Ish?’ Salaw?t only unlike Thuhr and ‘Asr Salaw?t for in the latter, one does not suffer darkness and rain. Analogy has no access here regarding journey Sal?t in which combination could be practiced since one suffers lengthy distances and the fear of loosing company unlike the state of residence. Some of these scholars even claimed that proofs support combining between the Maghrib and ‘Ish?’ Sal?t only!!

Im?m Ash-Sh?fi‘? held the legality of combining between Thuhr and ‘Asr Salaw?t unlike Im?m M?lik who distinguished between the day Salaw?t and night ones through specifying the general meaning Ibn ‘Abb?s’s had?th states: ‘All?h’s Messenger ( - ) combined between Thuhr and ‘Asr Salaw?t and between Maghrib and ‘Ish?’ Salaw?t without being under a state of fear nor in journey’. He [Im?m M?lik] interpreted it saying: ‘I think (1) this took place in rainy weather’. (2)

Ash-Sh?fi‘? [refuted Im?m M?lik’s view and] said: ‘Im?m M?lik did not take the had?th’s generality nor its specific interpretation into consideration. Instead, he rejected a part of it, i.e. “combined Thur and ‘Asr Salaw?t” and interpreted the other, i.e. “combined the Maghrib and ‘Ish?’ Salaw?t”, and such a way [of interpreting texts] is unanimously rejected’.
