Summary
Mosques may combine Zuhr with Asr and Maghrib with Isha without shortening them during natural disasters such as heavy rain, storms, extreme cold or floods. The combined prayer is held where congregational prayer is performed in the affected area, especially the mosque, and combining in the earlier prayer time (jamak taqdim) is preferred. Combining in the later time (jamak ta'khir) is allowed if circumstances require it. Those who prayed in congregation at such a mosque need not repeat the prayer even after the disaster ends.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jawatankuasa Fatwa bersetuju bahawa dalam keadaan bencana alam seperti yang disebutkan, maka pihak masjid boleh menjamakkan solat Zohor dan Asar, Maghrib dan Isya' tanpa qasar.
