Combining the midday and afternoon prayers in the rain

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does one combine the midday and afternoon prayers when it rains?

The Shaykh:
No, the stronger position is that it is not permissible, because combining prayers has only been reported for the two night prayers. Combining has only been reported for the two night prayers. Even though some of our scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) issued rulings permitting it, the majority of the scholars of this country, especially the majority of scholars, prohibit combining the midday and afternoon prayers, and that is the safer and stronger position. Yes.

The questioner:
And is one ordered to repeat the prayer if he did that?

The Shaykh:
No, he is not ordered to repeat it, but he is ordered not to do it again, not to repeat it. Yes.
