Is it permissible to combine the 'Asr prayer with the Zuhr prayer if the congregation is in a camp and it rains, given that they are not inconvenienced by the rain?

The questioner : When we are gathered in a place like a camp, and it happens that there is rain on a certain day, rain during that night.

The Shaykh : Rain.

The questioner : Rain, and we are staying in this place, and we are not inconvenienced by the rain. And I, for example, intended to pray the Zuhr prayer and we pray the Zuhr; so is it permissible for us to combine the 'Asr prayer with it, knowing that we are not inconvenienced by the rain?

The Shaykh : I understood you completely, but there is one thing you should have clarified so that your question would be comprehensive and exclusive: where will you pray the 'Asr prayer if you do not combine it with the Zuhr?

The questioner : In this place...

The Shaykh : Now the answer is valid; and it is that combining the prayers is not valid.
Yes.
