Question:
May Allah reward you. This person says: I am the imam of a mosque, and I hope that our honorable Shaykh, Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve him), will issue a ruling for us on this matter, which is the legal criterion, O honorable Shaykh, for combining prayers when there is heavy rain.
Answer:
Yes, this is permissible. You may combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers for heavy rain in order to make things easier for the people, provided the rain is heavy enough to wet the clothes. As for mere light drizzle, it is not permissible to combine prayers for that. Yes.
