Is It Fine To Offer Salah To Make Your Parents Happy?
These are the comforts and ease, provided by Almighty for his believers in Namaz. According to Ustad-e-Mohtaram (ha), we can also combine the Dhuhr with Asr, and Maghrib with Isha (But, only If there is any reason as per Suratul Nisa ayet 103). While, other scholars such as, Engr. Muhammad Ali Mirza (ha) have stated that we can also combine our prayers without any reason, based on these narrations by Hadhrat Abdullah ibn al-Abbas (rta) [Sahih al-Bukhari 543, 562] [Sahih Muslim 1628 to 1637]. At first, I used to believe in the opinion of Ustad-e-Mohtaram (ha). But, now I am preferring the view of Engr. Muhammad Ali Mirza (ha). Because of it’s reasonable proves and the ayah number 78 of Suratul Bani Israel (and it is evident from this verse, that there are three main times of Namaz, but offering in 5 different times is desirable). The Shia Muslims also pray 3 times a day. Also the Jews, who are Ahl al-Kitab also prays 3 times a day, which indicates that this ease was also provided for them. But, our Sunni Muslims don’t do so. Because, our four traditionalist imams (may Allah have mercy on them) held the view of strictly praying in 5 different times. You can disagree with me, if you don’t find it reasonable. As we all should be in search of truth, regardless of strictly following the opinions of our scholars (May Allah bless them). https://youtu.be/G6l8K9NlM9M?si=9gldKUiMF-PBNsp7
