Commentary
It is agreed that combining two prayers without a valid reason is not allowed. The A'immah from Hijāz allow the combining of two prayers for an excuse. According to Shāfi'ī and Mālikī, the valid excuse is journey and rain; the disease is also a valid excuse along with these two, according to Imām Aḥmad.
