The ruling on combining two prayers when it rains or when there is severe dust

Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Shaykh, some of the imams of the mosques try to combine the two prayers when it rains, and likewise when there is dust. In fact, one of the imams combined the prayers with us when there was a great deal of dust.

Answer:
Combining the prayers because of dust is not permissible. As for combining them because of rain, if the rain is falling, or if the ground is muddy and there is water that prevents you from reaching the mosque, then it is permissible to combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers in this case, yes.
