Ruling on combining prayers at home due to rain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh Salih. This questioner says: What is the ruling on combining prayers at home during rain and heavy floods? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
One does not combine at home; rather, one combines in the mosque with the praying congregation. If they combine the two prayers because of rain that wets the clothes and prevents them from reaching the mosque, and the mud on their way to the mosque, then if the imam of the mosque combines, they combine with him. But at home, one does not combine. For a group to combine in one house because of the rain, this is not permissible because it has not been established in the Shari'ah. Combining in the rain is for the praying congregation in the mosque, and one does not combine at home except for a sick person. Yes.
