Question:
A group of young men were at my house, and when the time for the Maghrib prayer came, heavy rain fell, so we prayed Maghrib in the house in congregation. Then a group wanted to pray 'Isha' combined with Maghrib because of the rain, and some refused on the grounds that combining is a dispensation for the mosque congregation, not the house. Some said that combining is permissible, but the host of the house does not combine. What is the correct ruling?
Answer:
In any case, your prayer in the house because of the rain, if the rain is falling and wetting the clothes and you are harmed by going out, your prayer in the house is valid because this is an excuse. As for combining, there is no basis for it. There is no basis for combining. Combining is for the mosque congregation to make it easier for them. As for those who pray in the house, there is no basis for combining, even if some scholars said so. Some scholars said that combining is permissible even for the people of the houses, even for women, but this requires evidence. Yes.
