Ruling on Combining the Afternoon Prayer with the Friday Prayer

Question:
Umm Sultan says: We used to go to Ta'if and pray the Friday prayer in the mosque, then we would pray the afternoon prayer as two units, combining it with the Friday prayer. What should we do about our previous afternoon prayers and their combination with the Friday prayer? Do we have to repeat them, since this happened to us repeatedly?

Answer:
It is not permissible to combine the afternoon prayer with the Friday prayer, because it is not of the same kind, and because this has not been reported from any of the Salaf (the earliest generations) that they combined the afternoon prayer with the Friday prayer. This is the ruling issued by most scholars, if not all of them. Therefore, this is not permissible. Whoever has done it must repeat the afternoon prayer that he combined with the Friday prayer. Yes.
