Combining Prayers Due to Work Pressure

Question
I work as a midwife in a government hospital. Sometimes I have immense pressure at work with consecutive births, and I cannot leave my position because I am the only one in this department. I miss my prayers. Is it permissible for me to combine two prayers due to the necessity I am in, due to the lack of time and the clothes that are stained with blood and the difficulty of changing into other clothes? I feel very distressed when I miss my prayers.
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: It is obligatory for you to pray each prayer on time, and it is forbidden for you to delay the prayer. The presence of some blood on your clothes does not harm you; it is excused due to necessity, and the prayer takes only a few minutes, and it is easy to perform. And God knows best.
