Is it permissible to combine the intention of Salat al-Hajah (Prayer of Need) and Salat al-Duha (Forenoon Prayer) in a single prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Some scholars, like the Shafi'i jurists, are of the view that the two rak'ahs for Salatul (Prayer of Need) are not a prerequisite to be standalone. Consequently, whoever prays two rak'ahs with the intention of Salatul Hajah, and other prayers that permit combination, such as Salatul Duha (Forenoon Prayer) or Tahiyatul Masjid (Prayer of Greeting the Mosque), will achieve their objective. However, it is better to pray each prayer separately to maximize the reward.
