Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, we rejoice in the rain just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to rejoice in it. But Shaykh, there are rulings regarding combining prayers when it rains, so please mention them to us, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
Yes, combining the prayer for the sake of rain or for the mud that is on the way to the mosque is permissible between Maghrib and 'Isha'. It is permissible to combine Maghrib and 'Isha' for one of two reasons: either the falling of rain that wets the clothes, or the presence of mud, clay, or pools of water on the path that makes it difficult for those who walk. In that case, it is permissible to combine Maghrib and 'Isha' to make things easier for the people. Yes.
