Is it permissible to daily delay the Dhuhr, Asr, and Maghrib prayers and combine and make them up on the following day due to the nature of one's work?
It is not permissible to delay the prayer beyond its legally prescribed time, and delaying it until the next day is considered a major sin. Work or travel is not an excuse for delaying the prayer; a traveler must maintain the prayer. It is permissible for the traveler to combine the Dhuhr and Asr prayers, and the Maghrib and Isha prayers. It is also for him to shorten the four-rak'ah prayers to two rak'ahs. It is not permissible to delay the prayer until sunset. If there is a legitimate fear and no safe place is available, one can pray in the car. Congregation is not a condition for the validity of the prayer, so one can pray individually.
