The ruling on combining the Friday prayer and the 'Asr prayer for travelers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a group of travelers combined the Friday prayer with the 'Asr prayer. They asked a student of knowledge, and he said, "I do not know of any prohibition regarding that." What is the ruling in this case for them, and for him? Is there a position held by some scholars regarding the permissibility of that?

The Shaykh:
That is a weak opinion. The majority of scholars hold that it is not permissible to combine 'Asr with the Friday prayer. Not a single word has been reported from the Salaf that they combined the Friday prayer with 'Asr. This has not been reported for 'Asr. There is only a weak opinion held by some of the Shafi'is, and the majority hold the opposite. Therefore, the one who combined 'Asr with Dhuhr must repeat it. He must repeat the 'Asr prayer. Yes. Even if a thousand years have passed, he must repeat the 'Asr prayer. Yes.

The questioner:
He prays. Ha. He prays. He prays.

The Shaykh:
This is combining Dhuhr with the Friday prayer. He prayed the Friday prayer with the people, and when they finished the Friday prayer, they stood up and prayed 'Asr.

The questioner:
And may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

The Shaykh:
It is not valid. You do not combine it. Since its time entered until now, he prayed during the time of 'Asr. Yes.

The questioner:
He says to you: Look, the Friday lecture means you pray Dhuhr and 'Asr.

The Shaykh:
Up to the point that he prayed Dhuhr and 'Asr together. There is no prohibition for a traveler, or for one who attended the Friday prayer with the residents and prayed Dhuhr and combined 'Asr. There is no harm in that. The discussion is only about combining Dhuhr, or combining 'Asr with the Friday prayer, with the Friday prayer. Yes.
