First of all. the general ruling is that prayers must be offered on their fixed times. Therefore, it is not permissible to offer a prescribed prayer before its time or to delay it after its time. This is because Allah the Mighty says:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times. (An-Nisaa’<\/a> 4:103)\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a consensus among scholars that it is permissible to combine Maghrib<\/em><\/a> (Sunset Prayer) and `Isha’<\/em><\/a> (Night Prayer) prayers to be joined at the time of Maghrib<\/em>, with one adhan (Call to Prayer) and iqamah<\/em> (call to start the Prayer) for each of them when there is something that <\/span>causes hardship<\/span> to people such as heavy rain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Almighty Allah says:<\/span><\/p>\n

And has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. <\/span><\/strong>(Al-Hajj<\/a> 22:78)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In another verse, Allah says:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. <\/span><\/strong>(Al-Baqarah<\/a> 2:286)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
