The Friday Prayer for the Traveler and Combining It with the Afternoon Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a traveler to pray the Friday prayer as the midday prayer and combine the afternoon prayer with it, shortened? And if he prays it in congregation as two units, may he combine the afternoon prayer with it?
Answer:
The ruling of the one who prays behind the imam is the ruling of the imam. If the imam prays Jumu'ah, your ruling is his ruling: you pray it as Jumu'ah and do not combine the 'Asr prayer with it, because it is not of the same kind as it. Yes.
