If the imam wants to combine Maghrib and 'Isha' and some of the ma'mum do not see the combination as appropriate on the grounds that the weather is not suitable, is it permissible to pray with
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If our shaykh, the imam, sees it as appropriate to combine the prayers of Maghrib and 'Isha', and one of the brothers sees that the combination is not suitable because the weather is not appropriate, is it permissible for him to pray with him at the first time and not combine with him at the second time?
The Shaykh : If he is a jurist, he has that right. If he is ignorant, he must follow the congregation.
The questioner : If the imam does not possess the conditions for these people?
The Shaykh : No, that is a different matter. The imam leads, whether he possesses the conditions we mentioned or not. Now, the congregation is not permissible to be separated, meaning to be divided. So this imam bears the responsibility of the congregation. But that other person who says, as we mentioned about that imam, that this combination is not prescribed, if he has some knowledge and jurisprudence and is convinced, then he may respond to his jurisprudence, pray the first obligatory prayer, and leave. But if he is from the general public, it is not permissible for him to leave the people...
The questioner : I mean, in a different way, let me ask you another question. If you knew the level of knowledge of this imam whom they left...
The Shaykh : We are finished. Please, go ahead.
The questioner : We understood from your words, our shaykh, that in our current circumstances, we, the ma'mum, should pray behind the imam and not leave?
The Shaykh : Yes, if he combines, they combine; if he prays separately, they pray separately. Yes.
The questioner : The Salafi call in this time is a call to truth, and it is what is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : Yes, but the phrase "in this time" has no place in the grammar.
The questioner : It is removed.
The Shaykh : It is removed — he laughs. May Allah have mercy on Jabal al-Sunnah.
The questioner : The topic of fasting, and although the question is a bit premature, but according to the opportunities in which we meet, this question is necessary for me. The issue of breaking the fast before the customary adhan. This is an issue in which we believe and have faith, that breaking the fast before the adhan is a recommended practice based on the sighting of the sun and its disappearance.
The Shaykh : Do not say that breaking the fast before the adhan is a recommended practice. I know what you intend, but I am telling you, do not say it that way; because the intention is in the heart, and not everyone who hears your words understands your intent.
The Shaykh : If he is a jurist, he has that right. If he is ignorant, he must follow the congregation.
