Is it permissible for a woman to combine prayers on days of severe cold?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible for a woman to combine prayers on days of severe cold, as long as she is praying in her house?
The Shaykh : Why would she combine them?
The questioner : ... the cold.
The Shaykh : She can heat the cold water, so it is not a problem. If she were in the open or in the desert where there is no way to heat it there, and the cold water might harm her, then it could be said that combining is permissible. But she is in the comfort of her home, heating water for blowing, cooking, and washing, and she does not heat water for her ablution or bath? If the need is not compelling, it is not permissible for her to combine in this situation; because combining while resident is for removing hardship, and there is no hardship here.
The questioner : So we say that it is reasonable in meaning?
The Shaykh: What is it?
The questioner : Reconciliation.
The Shaykh : Of course, it is based on the hadith where it was said: "He intended not to burden his Ummah."
The questioner : Sometimes some people combine prayers as soon as some rain falls during the day, or as soon as there are clouds, they combine immediately.
The Shaykh : And he is in his house.
The questioner : No, in the mosque.
The Shaykh : Behind the imam.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The imam, if there is no rain, it is not permissible.
The Shaykh : Why would she combine them?
