Question:
The questioner says: The congregation of our mosque combined the midday and afternoon prayers because of the rain that fell in the past few days. Then the rain stopped, the sky cleared, and the sun appeared.
Answer:
The strongly recommended combining is between the sunset and night prayers. As for combining the midday and afternoon prayers, this is a matter of scholarly disagreement, and it is a strong disagreement. It is better for the Muslim to avoid the disagreement and to get out of the disagreement, so he should not combine the midday and afternoon prayers because of the rain.
