Question:
If a traveler prays the Friday prayer with the Muslims, is he permitted to combine the 'Asr prayer with it by advancing it?

Answer:
No, he may not combine the 'Asr prayer with it, because 'Asr is not of the same kind as Jumu'ah, and because there is no report from the Salaf that they combined 'Asr with Jumu'ah. We have looked into this and researched it, but we found nothing. Yes, and a fatwa was issued on this matter ten years ago, during the lifetime of Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him), bearing his signature. It states that it is not permissible to combine the 'Asr prayer with Jumu'ah. Yes.
