A traveler prayed the Friday prayer intending it to be the midday prayer and combined the afternoon prayer with it; is his action valid?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is well known that the Friday prayer is not combined with the afternoon prayer. So, if a traveler prays the Friday prayer with the imam but intends it to be the midday prayer so that he can combine the afternoon prayer with it, is his action valid?

Answer:
This is mere imagination, this is mere imagination. How can one attend the Friday prayer, which is superior and an obligation of its specific time, and turn it into the midday prayer? No, this is not permissible. He should pray it as the Friday prayer, receive the reward of the Friday prayer, and pray the afternoon prayer at its proper time. And praise be to Allah, he does not pray it with the Friday prayer. Yes. People’s imaginations are strange. Yes.
