๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ Question: Is it permissible to combine the prayers together when you're working due to the shortness of the day? For example, praying Salat Adh-Dhuhr with Salat Al-'Asr?
๐ Answer: No, it is not permissible. Take five to ten minutes, then go and pray somewhere. Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala has made all of the earth a place of purification and prayer. You can purify yourself (perform wudhu / ablution) and you can pray anywhere on earth. So find a place, except for the laboratories (bathrooms) and toilets.
Find a place, a room, or closet somewhere, whether you're at school or college, or whether you're at work, or wherever you are, find somewhere, go to the parking lot and pray. Who's going to stop you from praying? Go next to your car or in between two cars and make Salah. Take your prayer mat. If some people tell you that you can't pray in this place because it's an open area, where there are people going in and out of the main office or any building, then go to the car park and pray. Don't be embarrassed.
(Allah the Almighty will Inn-sha-Allah reward you for good deeds you strive to do sincerely for His sake.)
If you're on the motorway, go to a service station, keep a prayer mat in your car, take it out and pray. Let the people see how devoted we are to Islam, and of course we show our devotion to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala first and foremost that we worship Him when He has called us to worship Him at the (designated) times which He has called upon us to worship Him.

๐ Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The first action for which a servant of Allah will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection will be his prayers. If they are in order, he will have prospered and succeeded. If they are lacking, he will have failed and lost. If there is something defective in his obligatory prayers, then Allah the Almighty will say: 'See if My servant has any voluntary (Sunnah) prayers that can complete what is insufficient in his obligatory prayers.' The rest of his deeds will be judged the same way."
