The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I prayed the Friday prayer in the Sacred Mosque, and I was a traveler. Then I wanted to combine the 'Asr prayer with it, so I asked some students about the ruling on that. They said it is permissible, and that Shaykh Ibn Baz issued a fatwa permitting it. The question is: Is this fatwa authentic? And is it permissible?
The Shaykh:
A liar. I was with the Shaykh, and we issued a fatwa with his signature stating that this is not permissible; combining the 'Asr prayer with the Friday prayer is not permissible. The fatwa exists, and it bears the Shaykh's signature and seal. This is what is known about the Shaykh. So they lie about the scholars for the sake of their own opinions. This is not permissible. Combining the 'Asr prayer with the Friday prayer is not valid, because it is not of the same kind. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. It has ended.
The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
