If rain falls a few minutes after the Maghrib prayer, is it permissible to combine the prayers?

Question : After finishing the Maghrib prayer by about three minutes, it rained, and some wanted to combine the [next prayer] with the Maghrib prayer.

Answer : The correct view is that there is no harm in it; that is, if the rain that permits combining falls three minutes after the Maghrib prayer is finished, the correct view is that it is permissible for them to combine, because the continuity has not been broken.
