Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh: The criterion for combining prayers when heavy rain falls. There are, Honorable Shaykh, some independent legal reasoning (ijtihad) from some of the mosque imams; some do not combine and some do. What is the criterion for that?
Answer:
Combining is permissible for a pressing need (hajah), such as combining for a sick person if he needs to, such as combining for a traveler, such as combining due to rain between Maghrib and 'Isha'. If the rain wets the clothes or leaves mud and clay on the ground, it is permissible to combine Maghrib and 'Isha' for that reason, out of consideration for the people. Yes.
