In your case, you need to perform the prayer fully with its pillars and conditions if you can do so.<sup>1<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Praying with Inappropriate Attire:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">A Muslim must cover their awrah (nakedness) during prayer. For men, this is from the navel to the knees, and for women, it is the entire body except the face and hands. If you are forced to pray with inappropriate attire due to coercive reasons, you should strive to cover your awrah as best as possible.<sup>2<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Combining Prayers:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">The Hanafi school does not allow combining prayers except in cases of travel or heavy rain that prevents one from going to the mosque. However, in your specific case where there is significant hardship and fear of harm, you may follow the concession in extreme necessity. In this situation as it would fall under the lesser of the two evils, rather than missing salah, you\u2019d rather pray the salah at what is deem able for you; and would fall under the category of Hifz ul Aqal \u2013 for your peace of mind in helping you preserve your deen. <sup>3<\/sup><sup>4<\/sup> But keeping in mind that you do mind make this a habit, this case would only be conditional until your situation eases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Practical Solutions:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">&#8211;
