The call to pray in your homes within the city

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: When is it said to people, or called out to people, "Pray in your homes"? Is this said within the city?

Answer:
This is a report from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) regarding a rainy night that he ordered the caller to say
Pray in your homesصلوا في رحالكم
When they asked him about that, he said:
I dislike to put you to task by bringing you out walking in mud and slushإني كرهت أن أخرجكم في الدحض
Sahih al-Bukhari 901
and the mud. I disliked sending you out in the slippery mud. There is no doubt that this is kindness to the Muslims. Combining prayers due to rain is a permissible recommended practice, not an obligatory recommended practice. Combining prayers because of rain is permissible in order to relieve them from the hardship of the slippery mud and water. Yes.
