Can I join prayers whilst at work?
Question
I work in a hospital and only get 1 hour break at lunch. Can i join zuhr to asr and then join Maghrib to Isha?
Answer
Joining prayers is a concession only during travelling according to the majority Madhaahib. According to Imaam Abu Hanifa, even during travelling it is not permissible to join the two Salaats at one time.
Therefore, you should exhaust every effort to perform every Salaat on time.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
