The Ruling on Combining Two Prayers in Rain, Cold, and Changing Weather

Question:
May Allah reward you. This person asks, may Allah bless you: What is the legal criterion for combining two prayers in the case of rain, in the case of cold, and in the case of changing weather?

Answer:
Combining prayers was only established in the case of rain, specifically rain that wets the clothes when one leaves the mosque or comes to the mosque, so that his clothes become wet. Combining is permissible for this reason, so that he goes out only once for the prayer. Likewise, if there is mud on the ground after the rain, and mud means clay and water, and it is difficult for him to walk in the mud, then he combines the prayers as well, Maghrib and 'Isha'. They also mentioned that combining Maghrib and 'Isha is permissible because of the severe cold wind, the severe cold wind on a dark night. If these characteristics are present, a severe and cold wind on a dark night, then he combines the two prayers, yes, Maghrib and 'Isha.
