Question:
And many other questions about the ruling on combining the midday and afternoon prayers for the sake of rain, and what is the ruling for one who prayed on this day and combined them?
Answer:
This is a mistake. Because the people are dispersed in their places, their buying and selling, and their markets; they are not staying indoors. During the day, they are not staying indoors, so you combine the midday and afternoon prayers for them, and then they go to their shops, and they go to their outings and their rest. There is no reason for combining at that time. The one who combines is the person who wants to enter his house and stay indoors from the rain; he is not going out when the rain stops. Yes.
