Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I performed 'Umrah on a Friday, and I prayed the Friday prayer in the Haram with some of my brothers. After the Friday prayer, I called for the prayer, and I and the brothers with me prayed the 'Asr prayer shortened and combined, seeking the reward. Then I traveled immediately. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
This is a mistake. It is not permissible to combine 'Asr with the Friday prayer because it is not of the same kind as it. This was not the practice of the Salaf or of the recognized scholars, and there is no evidence for it. So you must repeat the 'Asr prayer. It is obligatory to repeat the 'Asr prayer because combining it with the Friday prayer was not valid. Yes.
