The ruling on combining two prayers due to cold and wind

The questioner:
Shaykh, is it permissible to combine the two prayers because of the severe cold or wind?

The Shaykh:
No, the wind alone is not enough. But a cold wind, they said, a severe cold wind. If it is a severe cold wind and it is the darkness of night, then one combines. One combines for rain, one combines for mud, and one combines for a severe cold wind on a dark night. It is necessary that there be three conditions: that it be cold, that it be severe, and that it be in the darkness of part of the night. As for if it is during the day, then combining is not permissible. Except between the two 'Isha' prayers, and even though some of our scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) issued a ruling permitting it, the majority of the scholars of this country in particular, and the majority of scholars in general, are of the opinion that combining between the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers is prohibited, and that is the more cautious and stronger position.

The questioner:
And does he order the one who did that to repeat the prayer?

The Shaykh:
No, he is not ordered to repeat it, but he is ordered not to return, not to repeat it.
