Combining the Two Prayers Due to Dust
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Some of the imams of the mosques combine the two prayers when there is dust. If this dust is not severe but it affects some of the worshippers, what is the criterion for that, Honorable Shaykh Salih?
Answer:
Combining is not permissible except, meaning, between Maghrib and 'Isha'. It is not permissible except in the case of falling rain that wets the clothes, or the mud that is on the way to the mosque from the water and clay resulting from the rain. As for mere dust, this does not permit combining. And we do not know of anyone from the Salaf or from the people of knowledge who combines for the sake of dust. Yes.
