Ruling on combining prayers for one who prays at home during rain

Question:
Another question, Shaykh. Regarding the case of rain. In the case of rain, and a person praying alone at home because there is no mosque nearby. Is it permissible in such a case to combine the 'Isha' prayer with Maghrib, or the Zuhr prayer with 'Asr?

Answer:
If he is praying at home, he does not need to combine them. Combining is for when one goes out and is exposed to rain and cold. As for if he is praying at home, he prays each prayer in its time and does not need to combine them. And although some jurists say it is permissible for him to combine them even if he prays at home, the correct view is that he has no need to combine them at home, nor is he going out. He prays, and the default is that the prayer is performed in its time. Allah the Exalted said: . And since he has no need to combine, he prays each prayer in its time based on the default ruling of the Shari'ah. Yes.
