Combining the Two Midday Prayers in the Rain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to combine the two midday prayers in the rain, or is that specific to the night prayers?
The Shaykh:
The school of thought does not permit it, because people during the day are out and about, going to their places of work, and the light of the day does not have the darkness of the night prayers. The school of thought holds that one does not combine the two midday prayers, but rather combines Maghrib and 'Isha', as you have in the book now. Some scholars hold that one may also combine the two midday prayers, but the position that is established and acted upon is the first one: one does not combine except between Maghrib and 'Isha'. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
I see them going out, using their time, trading, and doing their work. What is the benefit of combining them so they can go out for their confirmations, their work, and their occupations? This is unlike the night prayers, where people rest and stay in their homes. There is a difference between the two situations. Yes.
