Farewell Tawaf for the One Performing 'Umrah and Combining the 'Asr Prayer with Jumu'ah for the Traveler

Question:
This questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, I am performing 'Umrah from al-Qassim and intend to return on Friday, if Allah wills, after Maghrib. I will leave Makkah after the Friday prayer to go to Jeddah. Should I pray the 'Asr prayer in the Haram, combining and shortening it after the Friday prayer, or should I pray it in Jeddah? Because I will be in Jeddah during 'Asr, if Allah wills. And regarding the farewell, is it permissible for me to do it before the Friday prayer? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is no farewell for 'Umrah, but if one performs tawaf, that is good, if Allah wills. The obligatory farewell is for Hajj; that is the correct view. However, if one says farewell after 'Umrah, that is good. Tawaf is a benefit, a blessing, a good, and a virtue. 'Asr is not combined with Jumu'ah. Pray Jumu'ah only. Leave 'Asr for its time. 'Asr is not combined with Jumu'ah, but Jumu'ah is alone. So if a traveler prays Jumu'ah with the people, he delays 'Asr until its time.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
