Yes, because every element has a specific combining capacity (valency) for example Mg is +2 and Cl is -1 so they must combine in ratio of 1;2.

Do elements always combine in specific ratios?

The Law of Definite Proportions says that a given chemical compound always contains the same proportion by mass of its constituent elements. This is NOT the same as saying that elements always combine in a specific ratio, because they can combine in different ratios in different compounds. An example of this might be copper oxide which can be CuO or Cu2O, showing a different ratio of copper to oxygen. So, the answer to the question, as asked, is no, elements do not always combine in specific ratios.
