Ruling on combining the 'Asr prayer with the Friday prayer for a traveler
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. A traveler was present on Friday, but he missed the Friday prayer. It is obligatory for him to make up the prayer. Is it permissible for him to pray it as two rak'ahs and combine the 'Asr prayer with it?
Answer:
If he is present with the people for the Friday prayer, he should pray Friday with them so that he may attain the virtue of Friday. He should not combine 'Asr with it, because 'Asr is not part of the Friday prayer. Why would he deprive himself of the great Friday prayer, which contains great virtue, and intend it as Dhuhr in order to combine 'Asr with it? What is the reason for that? He would miss the reward of Friday, this great act of worship. For the sake of combining 'Asr with it, he prays Dhuhr and combines 'Asr with it, for a purpose that is not good.
