Question:
The questioner says: If the imam of the mosque and his deputy insist on combining the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers after the rain has stopped completely a long time before Maghrib, should I pray with them, or should I leave immediately after the Maghrib prayer?
Answer:
Do not pray with him, do not combine the prayers with him. If there is no excuse that permits combining, do not pray with him; go to the other mosques.
