Combining the two prayers for a resident in the open desert

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says that he is Sudanese and grazes his livestock in the open desert, and the cold is severe, and he is unable to perform wudu', and he combines the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers.

Answer:
No, do not combine them. Do not combine them, but pray each prayer in its time as long as you are residing in the open desert, and do not combine them. Combining is only for one who is traveling, or for the sick person, or combining the two night prayers in the mosque to avoid rain or mud. It is not permissible to combine two prayers except for a valid religious excuse. And you are residing with the livestock, so you pray each prayer in its time at your place of residence, or in the house, or the tent, or the shelter that has been prepared for you; you pray in it each prayer in its time. Yes.
