Summary
This explanatory article treats labour pain as an apparent excuse that calls for some concession, but scholars differ on combining prayers because of illness. The established view of the Hanafi and Shafi'i schools does not permit it, while the Maliki and Hanbali schools and some Shafi'i scholars, including Imam al-Nawawi, permit it. The text provided ends before the conclusion on the case of women in labour.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mengikut pendapat muktamad mazhab Hanafi dan mazhab Shafi'i tidak diharuskan seseorang yang sakit menjamakkan solat iaitu menggabungkan solat secara taqdim atau ta'khir disebabkan sakit.
