Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Heavy rains fell on us at the time of the Maghrib prayer, so we combined and shortened it with the 'Isha' prayer. He asks: Is what we did valid? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
No, shortening is not permissible except when traveling. However, if you need to combine prayers because of rain that wets the clothes, there is no harm in combining Maghrib and 'Isha'. Yes.
