Combining the 'Asr prayer with the congregation on the road.
The Shaykh:
No, thank you.

The Shaykh:
The one who is protected from error.
The questioner:
Good.
The Shaykh:
Leave our 'Asr prayer in its time.
The questioner:
Peace be upon him.
The Shaykh:
He has nothing with which to combine it in the first place.
The questioner:
He prays, and they are traveling.
The Shaykh:
This is not a condition, but the 'Asr prayer is in its time.
The questioner:
Meaning, they do not combine them.
The Shaykh:
No, they do not combine them.
The questioner:
Some of them pray in the Haram.
The Shaykh:
They shorten them to two rak'ahs, but they do not pray them with the Friday prayer; they offer them in their proper time.
The questioner:
Some people say that if we pray Jumu'ah in the Sacred Precinct, we should combine the 'Asr prayer with it for the sake of the virtue of the mosque?
The Shaykh:
It is not advised. They have no precedence for this; it is not permissible.
