The ruling on a woman combining two prayers to preserve her adornment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Please, my sister Umm Khalid from Jeddah, go ahead. Yes, peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. If you please, I would like you to explain to me regarding the prayer. Yes. Now, in this summer season, weddings are frequent, and so on. The bride, after Maghrib, starts wearing her heavy adornment on her face and hair, and it is difficult for her to remove it. I do not know if it is permissible for me to combine 'Isha' with Maghrib, meaning the four rak'ahs of 'Isha', and combine them with Magrib, because it is very difficult for her to remove it after Maghrib, and so on, and we can no longer remove it at all. Yes, Honorable Shaykh. It is clear, thank you, my sister Umm Khalid. She says that at weddings, especially in the summer, Honorable Shaykh, they apply makeup and dyes, so some women, Honorable Shaykh, combine Maghrib with 'Isha' out of fear of these dyes being washed away with water. What is your opinion on that?

Answer:
It is not permissible to combine the two prayers; because it is obligatory that each prayer be performed in its own time, and combining is not permissible except in specific cases, such as the case of illness that requires combining, the case of travel in which the prayer is shortened, and the case of rain between Maghrib and 'Isha'. These are the cases for combining, and other than these, the two prayers are not combined for any purpose except in accordance with the meaning of the aforementioned excuses. And what you mentioned is not an excuse that permits her to combine the two prayers. Yes.
