Is it permissible to combine 'Isha' with Maghrib by advancing the prayer if a person knows that he will not be able to catch 'Isha' in another congregation due to the distance of the mosque?

The questioner: Okay, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes. ?
The questioner : As for me, I pray Maghrib, for example, in al-Jabiyah, and when I want to go to the units, I get in the car. The call to prayer for 'Isha' is made while I am on the way. Do I combine by advancing the prayer?
The Shaykh : You combine by advancing the prayer, why?
The questioner : I will not catch the congregation for the 'Isha' prayer.
The Shaykh : And if you combine by advancing the prayer, will you catch the congregation?
The questioner : I pray Maghrib with the congregation, then I travel.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, you have not answered me. When you combine 'Isha' with the congregation, do you pray 'Isha' with the congregation?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So what is the benefit of the combination?
The questioner : No problem, I will repeat the question in a different form. I pray Maghrib...
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, I understood your question. Did you understand the answer?
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : I will repeat the question to you instead of you repeating it to me?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : You leave al-Jabiyah when you pray Maghrib, so you do not reach your house and home until the congregation for the 'Isha' prayer has passed, correct?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So you ask, "Do I combine?" I tell you, why do you combine? If you combine 'Isha' with Maghrib, have you prayed 'Isha' with the congregation? You say: No. So why do you combine?
The questioner : Ah. I understood, because combining is not permissible except with the congregation.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh : Yes. ?
