Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Badr from Tabuk. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Combining prayers without travel, fear, or rain. Does this indicate the greatness of the congregational prayer?
Answer:
The status of the congregation is great; it is obligatory. However, this combining is problematic because it is combining without travel or illness. Combining without travel or illness. Some scholars interpreted it to mean that the intent is combining for rain, and they used it as evidence for the permissibility of combining Maghrib and 'Isha' for rain. Some others said this hadith is problematic and referred to the authentic and explicit hadiths that it is not permissible to combine except for the traveler or the sick, or on a rainy night between the two 'Isha' prayers. Beyond that, the default is that every prayer is performed in its time. Yes.
