Question:
During Ramadan mother sometimes tells me not to fast I will get weak, what should I do? I am mature enough to fast. Also, Isha is at 11pm and Maghrib 9pm so my mother tells me to combine them, but I can pray on time too? Salawat not after Jummah azan?
Answer:
Bismillahi-r Rahmani-r Rahim
Fasting is wajib for Muslims who have reached puberty and of good health. If you are able to complete the fast you should do so. Assure your mother that you are strong enough for the task as she probably said that due to worry.
Combining prayers can be done only when travelling. If you are in your own country it is not accepted. You have to perform the prayers in their specific times.
