Ruling on Combining the 'Asr Prayer with the Friday Prayer

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: If I am traveling and I prayed the Friday prayer in the Sacred Mosque, and my travel was after the Friday prayer, is it permissible for me to combine the 'Asr prayer with the Friday prayer by advancing it, or is it that the Friday prayer is not combined with any other prayer?

Answer:
This is the Friday prayer; it is not combined with 'Asr because 'Asr is not of the same kind as it. Rather, the 'Asr prayer is combined with the Dhuhr prayer, and it is not combined with the Friday prayer because it is not of the same kind as it. The scholars have explicitly stated this, as in Sharh al-Muntaha and other works. A fatwa was issued by the Permanent Committee during the time of Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him), and it was signed by him along with the members, because it is not permissible to combine 'Asr with Friday, as it is not of the same kind as it. What is reported is that 'Asr is combined with Dhuhr, and it is not reported that it is combined with Friday. The default is that every prayer is performed in its own time, unless there is evidence indicating that it is combined with another prayer, either by advancing or delaying it. Since there is no evidence for this, we remain with the default. Yes.
