The question

What is the manner of prayer for a bride on her wedding day while she is in full adornment, and is it permissible for her to combine prayers by performing them earlier (jama' taqdim) or later (jama' ta'khir), or is she obligated to remove her adornments and perform ablution for each prayer?

The answer

Prayer holds a great status in Islam, being the second pillar after the two declarations of faith (Shahadatayn). It must be performed at its appointed time, as Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a timed ordinance." (Quran 4:103). A wedding is not a reason to delay prayer. However, if there is a considerable hardship, one may combine two prayers, such as Dhuhr and Asr, or Maghrib and Isha, either by performing the second prayer early (taqdim) or the first prayer late (ta'khir), according to those who permit it due to need and hardship, like the Hanbalis. They cite the of Ibn Abbas, which states that the Prophet (peace be upon him) combined prayers not out of fear or rain, but to remove hardship from his Ummah. As for combining all five prayers together, this is not permissible.
