It is permissible to combine two prayers due to illness, according to many scholars. This is the view of the Hanbalis and was strengthened by Al-Nawawi. There is no blame upon you for combining prayers if you are ill, with the advice not to prolong your stay in the restroom, to repel obsessive thoughts, and to continue with your treatment.
