Combining Prayers in the Open for a Picnic in Severe Cold

Question:
He says: Groups of people go out to the open to camp for a picnic. Is it permissible for them to combine prayers in the case of severe cold?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, as long as they have reached the distance for shortening the prayer. If shortening is permissible for them, then combining is permissible for them. However, if they have not reached the distance for shortening and shortening is not permissible for them, then combining is not permissible for them unless the cold is severe. If the cold is severe, that is one of the reasons for combining, as mentioned at the beginning of the session. If the cold is severe, they may combine, except if they are in one tent, or in adjacent tents. In that case, there is no reason for combining. But if they are in separate tents and come to one tent to pray in it, and they have hardship due to the severe cold, there is nothing wrong with them combining. Yes.
