Does the one performing 'Umrah combine the 'Asr prayer with the Zuhr prayer when traveling from Makkah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, he may combine the 'Asr prayer with the Zuhr prayer. If he enters Makkah and stays there for three, four, five, six, or ten days, and wants to travel, for example, after the Zuhr prayer, and says, "I want to combine 'Asr with Zuhr so that I can continue my journey," then that is permissible and there is no harm in it. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed in Makkah for nineteen days and shortened the prayer. So we tell this man: there is nothing wrong with advancing the 'Asr prayer and combining it with the Zuhr prayer, so you pray it as two rak'ahs and then leave as a traveler. However, do not leave the place where you entered as a pilgrim for 'Umrah until you have performed the farewell tawaf as your final act. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to take the mushaf out of the Haram and return it?
