Is it better to pray at home or in the mosque when it rains?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Nadeer, says: When it rains, is it better to pray at home or in the mosque? And does this apply to all types of rain, whether heavy or otherwise?

Answer:
The rain that wets the clothes, or the slickness on the ground after the rain, is the condition under which it is prescribed to combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers, so they are combined. This is a concession for the people. As for when they do not combine, and if your clothes become wet, or you are exposed to cold, or you fear catching a cold, you may pray in your home to ward off harm.
