Question:
This questioner says: If there is heavy rain, and I prayed in a mosque where the imam did not combine the prayers, and when I left I heard the iqamah for the 'Isha' prayer, is it permissible for me to combine with them?
Answer:
You should not combine them; because you separated them by a long interval between Maghrib and 'Isha', the gap became long. You should leave that to avoid scholarly disagreement. Pray 'Isha' with your companions, if Allah wills, and do not pray with these people; because you separated them by a long interval. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
