The questioner : ... ؟
The Shaykh : As for Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he prayed Maghrib, then 'Isha' was brought forward to him, so he ate his supper, then he called the adhan and prayed 'Isha'. This indicates that he does not combine the prayers if he arrives during the time of the Maghrib prayer.
However, in our present time, it may be said that he combines the prayers even if he arrives during the time of Maghrib, due to the scarcity of water and the severe congestion in seeking water. Thus, this combining is for the sake of pressing need.
