Permissibility of combining prayers due to severe cold
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it permissible to combine prayers in severe cold and to repeat this, especially for the Dhuhr and Asr prayers?
And by Allah! This is looked into: Is there a wind in this severe cold that stings people and harms them? If so, then combining is permissible.And the evidence for this: The hadith of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said: (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) combined prayers in Madinah without fear or rain,They said to him: What did he intend by that? — meaning why did he do this —He said: He intended not to burden his Ummah) This indicates that whenever hardship is found, combining is permissible.
