Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We are in contact with the brothers and sisters via the program's mobile phone, and this is another questioner asking from al-Jubayl. He asks about shortening the prayer and combining it in the case of rain: is it for every person to do that, or not?
Answer:
Shortening the prayer is not permissible except in travel. It is not permissible to shorten the prayer because of rain. Rather, it is permissible to combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers at the time of rain that wets the clothes, or in the presence of mud on the road to the mosque from water and clay. They combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers to make it easier for them and to spare them from hardship. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
