Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on combining the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers in a non-traveling state when it rains? Please clarify this, especially since some schools combined the prayers on this day?
Answer:
No, this is not valid. The majority of scholars hold that one does not combine the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers due to rain; the Sunnah was established only for combining the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers, because people need to rest and sleep in their homes at night. As for the daytime, people are working; they are working, they are not sitting in their homes. So the correct view is that one does not combine the Zuhr and 'Asr. This is the position of the majority. Even if some scholars have a different view, there is no doubt that the criterion is the evidence, not the opinion of so-and-so or so-and-so. Yes.
