Summary
This Selangor fatwa states that it is permissible to combine prayers for patients undergoing prolonged treatment for chronic illnesses. The same allowance applies to workers who cannot leave their duties for unavoidable reasons, such as doctors in ICU wards working without time limits. The allowance is limited to emergency situations and does not apply when healthy, on days without treatment, or when off duty.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harus menjama'kan sembahyang kerana menjalani rawatan penyakit kronik yang memakan masa yang lama.
