Combining Prayers for the Sake of Rain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it true that combining prayers for the sake of rain is a recommended practice (sunnah)? Because some of the common people tell the imam of their mosque, “Combine the prayers and follow the sunnah,” even if there is no hardship for them?
Answer:
It is not a recommended practice (sunnah); it is permissible to combine prayers, permissible when traveling, and permissible in the rain. This is permissibility, not a recommended practice (sunnah). Yes.
