The ruling on combining two prayers without an excuse

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. You are asking about combining the Dhuhr and 'Asr prayers, and the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers, without an excuse. Is that permissible for her?

Answer:
It is not permissible to combine the two prayers except for a valid legal excuse; otherwise, every prayer is to be performed in its own time. Allah the Exalted said:
Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times.إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَّوْقُوتًا
[An-Nisa 4:103]
Therefore, combining is not permissible except in cases of valid legal excuses. These are travel, where if shortening the prayer is permissible for him, then combining is also permissible for him; and illness, where a sick person who would be burdened by not combining may combine the two prayers to ease the hardship on him; and rain, where if there is rain falling that wets the clothes, they may combine Maghrib and 'Isha' to ease the burden on the people, or if after the rain the ground is flooded with water and mud that makes walking in it difficult, they may combine Maghrib and 'Isha' for that reason. Yes.
