Is it permissible to combine the Isha prayer with the Maghrib prayer in the summer due to the late timing of Isha and the difficulty for people to wait, knowing that some of them stay up late after the prayer? And is early work considered an excuse for combining prayers?

It is not permissible to combine two prayers in the city in this manner, as it was not the custom of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. He did so to avoid burdening his Ummah. Researchers believe that this combining is merely nominal, meaning the first prayer is delayed until the end of its time, and the second is brought forward to the beginning of its time.
