Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Turki from 'Afiyah, may Allah preserve you, says: We are looking forward to rain falling, if Allah wills, in the coming days during the winter season. He asks: What is the legal criterion for combining prayers when it rains?
Answer:
Combining prayers due to rain is specifically between Maghrib and 'Isha'. The rain must be the kind that wets the clothes, whether you are coming to the mosque or leaving it, or if there is mud and slippery ground on the road afterwards. It is permissible to combine the two evening prayers to avoid this harm. Yes.
