Question:
Do we combine, Shaykh? The questioner says: Do we combine and shorten in heavy rains? We are in a village and heavy rain came to us, Honorable Shaykh, and we cannot go out to the mosque. Do we combine and shorten?
Answer:
No, shortening is not permissible except when traveling. However, if you need to combine prayers because of rain that wets the clothes, there is no harm in combining Maghrib and 'Isha'. Yes.
