The traveler combining the 'Asr prayer with Jumu'ah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A traveling man prayed Jumu'ah with the people, but he prayed it with the intention of the shortened Zuhr prayer, and then combined the 'Asr prayer with it. Is that permissible for him?

Answer:
Actions are only by intentionsإنما الأعمال بالنيات
But how can he leave the Jumu'ah prayer, which is better than the Zuhr prayer, in order to combine? This is a matter that involves a deficiency. Let him pray Jumu'ah, which is better, and pray the 'Asr prayer in its proper time. Yes.
