Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The Maliki school permits combining two acts of worship with a single intention in the following matters:
1. The overlapping of two obligatory acts of worship; such as a woman's for menstruation and with a single intention.
2. The overlapping of two acts of worship, one obligatory and the other ; such as ghusl for janabah and Friday prayer with a single intention.
3. The overlapping of two acts of worship, one of which is not intended for its own sake; such as the greeting of the mosque with the two rak'ahs of Fajr, where the latter suffices for the former.
