Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on combining the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers due to dust and due to wind?
Answer:
It is not permissible to combine the prayers for the sake of dust or wind. The wind is constant and frequent; there is much wind, and there is also much dust. It is not reported from the Salaf that they combined the prayers for the sake of wind and dust. They only combined them for the sake of rain, for rain that wets the clothes, or for the mud and clay on the road to the mosque. This is what was reported. The default is that every prayer is performed in its own time. It is not permissible to combine them except for an excuse, and it is not valid without an excuse. The prayer is not valid without a valid legal excuse for combining. Yes.
