Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, may Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh Salih, what is the legal criterion for combining prayers when it is raining? We ask Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to send relief to the land and the people.
Answer:
The criterion in this case is that the rain wets the clothes if one is exposed to it, so that the clothes become muddy and wet, causing discomfort; or that after the rain, mud and slippery ground remain on the earth, making it difficult to walk through on the way to the mosque. In these two cases, one combines the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers. Yes.
