Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: I am the imam of a mosque, and some of the elderly members of the mosque congregation are asking me to combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers on cold days like these?
The Shaykh:
Peace, what?
The questioner:
Like cold days.
The Shaykh:
No, no, if no fatwa (scholarly legal ruling) has been issued regarding combining them, do not combine them, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
The one who is unable to pray with the 'Isha' congregation in the mosque prays in his home, from among the elderly, praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
