About the Book:
I gathered in this book the ruling that are related to combining the salaah due to the persistent need and the great importance of knowing this topic. Thus I write it in such a manner that befits the people of the present time even though they may be differing levels with regards to knowledge and understanding.
I have chosen not to restrict the rulings that are within this book to the methodology of one particular school of thought thereby limiting the people to that one thought. I have verified and stated the grade of ahadeeth that are mentioned herein. 'And what good are ahadeeth that the authentic and the weak are both mixed up and you cannot distinguish between the two and you do not investigate about the one who it is narrated by. Taken from the Author's introduction.
