The ruling on making up the 'Asr prayer after combining it with Jumu'ah while traveling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: Your Eminence mentioned yesterday that it is not permissible to combine the Friday prayer and the 'Asr prayer, both in terms of combining and shortening. I was on a course outside the Kingdom for seven months, and my colleagues and I would pray Jumu'ah and then pray 'Asr immediately as two rak'ahs. What is the ruling? Do we make it up, or what do we do?

The Shaykh : I see that you should make it up. And how long did they stay? Seven months. In seven months, how many Fridays is that? Four Fridays in each month. Yes. About thirty, so they owe thirty 'Asr prayers, but they are shortened 'Asr prayers. Because they were travelers, and this is easy, praise be to Allah. A person reaches the limit of his obligation and his religion is safe.
