The criterion for combining the two prayers due to rain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the criterion for combining the two prayers for the sake of rain? And does one combine the two midday prayers for this reason?
Answer:
One combines Maghrib and 'Isha' in continuous, heavy rain that soaks the clothes. As for light drizzle or a brief shower that does not soak the clothes, that is not the case. This applies between Maghrib and 'Isha'. As for Zuhr and 'Asr, this is a matter of scholarly disagreement. The school of thought, and the position of the majority, is that it is not permissible. This is specific to Maghrib and 'Isha' because people need to be in their homes.
