The ruling on combining the two prayers due to rain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If there are a few people for whom it is difficult to go to the mosque during the rain, while the rest of the congregation find it easy, is it prescribed to combine the prayers in this situation?
Answer:
Yes, if the rain wets the clothes, then combining the prayers is permissible. Even if it is not difficult for some of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam), they follow the one for whom it is difficult, for when a dispensation (rukhsah) comes, it applies to all. Yes.
