Question:
A man says: I intend to travel from the Haram immediately after Zuhr, if Allah wills. Is it permissible for him to pray Zuhr in congregation with the imam, and then combine the 'Asr prayer with it, performing 'Asr first?
Answer:
If his arrival in Makkah is for a short stay, less than four days, and he intends to travel, he combines the upcoming prayer with the current one: Zuhr with 'Asr, or 'Isha' with Maghrib, 'Asr with Zuhr, or 'Isha' with Maghrib, combining them with the later prayer first. However, if he is staying in Makkah for more than four days, then no; he does not shorten the prayer when he leaves to travel, and he does not combine the prayer when he leaves Makkah to travel. Yes.
