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 two evening prayers?
The Shaykh:
According to the school of thought, it is not permissible, because people go out and come out during the day, and the light of the day does not have the darkness of the evening 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 it is permissible to combine the two midday prayers as well, but the position of the school of thought and the one upon which practice is based is the first one, and one does not combine except between Maghrib and 'Isha. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, I informed you.
The Shaykh:
They are not sitting; they go out to their work, their trade, and their occupations. What is the benefit for them in combining? They go out to their shops, their work, and their occupations, unlike the evening prayers, where they sleep, rest, and stay in their houses. There is a difference between the two situations. Yes.
