Is it permissible to have a slight interval between the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers when combining them?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Does the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in delaying the 'Isha' prayer after setting up the camp indicate that combining the two prayers is done with a delay and not continuously?
Answer:
A simple need between the two prayers does not break the combination, such as a light ablution or unloading a light load. So a need that is not time-consuming does not prevent the combination.
