The ruling on combining prayers when dust rises
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible for the imam in the mosque, when there is severe dust, to combine the prayers, just as he combines them when it rains?
Answer:
This has not been reported; rather, combining has only been reported for rain, and it has not been reported that they combine for the sake of dust. Yes. Also, they combine for severe cold wind, and dust does not have coldness. If the dust is difficult for him, he prays in his house; he is excused for leaving the congregation. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. Honorable Shaykh
