Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions received regarding this topic, the Honorable Shaykh is asked about combining the prayer on account of strong wind, specifically: he says, what about shepherds and those who are in the open desert and the wilderness?
Answer:
It is not reported that the prayer is combined for strong wind merely because of its strength; rather, it is combined for the strong, cold wind on a dark, pitch-black night. The prayer is combined for this wind on a night with strong, cold wind and darkness. If one of these characteristics is missing, the prayer is not combined on account of it.
