The invalidity of this [view] will become clear to you soon, God willing. As for the School of Shafi`is, Malikis and Hanbalis (three differing jurisprudence respectively), they have allowed it (the combination) when travelling although there are differences between them. Otherwise, they are not allowed to combine except for [genuine] excuses; for example, when there is rain, soil, sickness and fear.

There are also differences between them on the conditions which consider traveling as a legitimate requisite to combine chronologically separated prayers. Our proofs, for the issue whether the chronologically separated prayers could be combined, or, not, rely on between us, and our God, the Almighty, as well as other issues on the authentic [traditions] from our Imams (twelve, utmost chaste, males from the progeny of the A.S.), peace be upon them.
