Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers in the city without an excuse?
Answer:
It is not permissible to combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers in the city except for the excuse of rain or mud. If there is rain that wets the clothes, or mud between the mosque congregation and the mosque, they combine the prayers to lighten the burden of wading through swamps or being exposed to the rain. They combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers in these two cases. They also say this regarding severe cold wind; if there is severe cold wind, they also combine the prayers. Yes.
