Prayers that are intended for their own sake (such as obligatory prayers and regular supererogatory prayers) do not overlap with others. It is permissible to combine the intention for the Duha prayer with the intention for the Sunnah of ablution, or the intention for a regular supererogatory prayer with the intention for the Sunnah of ablution, because the Sunnah of ablution is not intended for its own sake. Sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, on Friday is desirable. There is no harm in adhering to a specific daily litany without believing in a special virtue for the number. It is possible to combine the study of Islamic sciences and medicine by organizing and utilizing time effectively, while paying attention to studies and allocating time for Islamic sciences, starting with concise books and texts.
