Shia Muslims follow the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) in each and every matter and he himself had joined and combined the Prayers when he was in Madinah with out any unusual situation, and said when he was asked why: To keep my Ummah away from difficulty كي لا أشق على أمتي.
We pray Dhuhr and Assr one after the other combining, following the Prophet (SAWA) who used to combine some times, and we believe that combining is not compulsory so we also pray Dhuhr the wait and pra Assr later on.
Unfortunately, some Muslim sects have ignored the Sunnah of the Prophet, despite calling themselves as followers of the Sunnah.
