The ruling on combining two prayers at home due to rain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Combining prayers in the home, O Shaykh, during heavy floods, what is your opinion on that?
Answer:
One does not combine prayers in the home; rather, one combines them in the mosque with the praying congregation, if they combine between Maghrib and 'Isha' because of the rain that wets the clothes and prevents them from going to the mosque, and the mud on their way to the mosque, which is water and clay. So if the imam of the mosque combines, they combine with him between Maghrib and 'Isha'. As for in the home, one does not combine; if he is unable to go to the mosque, he prays in his home, but he does not combine except the sick person, who combines between the two prayers if he needs to and if that is more comfortable for him. Yes.
