Yes, hydrogen is incredibly combustible. It is gaseous and thus because of the mobility of the molecules the reactivity is increased. in addition it forms an extremely stable product so it is energetically favorable for it to ignite and burn.

2H2 + O2 -----> 2H2O + energy.
I would call it explosive rather than combustible but YES - very

If Hydrogen is combustible substance and oxygen is also combustible substance but the product water is non combustible substance Why?

When hydrogen burns, it is combining with oxygen. Once it has combined to form water, the molecule does not want to readily accept more oxygen atoms. Fire is rapid oxidation, so if it is already oxidized, it is done.
