Combining Prayers in the Masjid Due To Expected Rain

 

Question: If the sky is cloudy and there is no rain or mud, but the rain is expected, is it permissible to combine prayers?

Response: It is not permissible to combine (prayers) in this case, because the expectation is not realistic and how many cases in which people expect rain due to the intensity of the clouds, then it disperses and does not rain
