The obligation of the traveler who prayed Jumu'ah on the road and combined 'Asr with it, and the ruling on his prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Honorable Shaykh! A group of travelers prayed Jumu'ah on their way, then combined 'Asr with it, and then they were informed of their error in doing so. What is obligatory for them? And what is the ruling on their prayer?
It is obligatory for them to repeat Jumu'ah as Zuhr, and to pray 'Asr; because Jumu'ah is not valid for a traveler unless he is with people who establish Jumu'ah, meaning: such that they passed through a city and prayed with the people, in which case there is no harm, and it suffices them; but if they are in the open desert and they pray Jumu'ah, their prayer is invalid. As for if they prayed it following others, then they only have to repeat the 'Asr prayer that they combined with Jumu'ah, so they must repeat it, and it is to be two rak'ahs, even if they are in the city; because it became obligatory for them in that manner as well. And they pray it when they learn that their action was not correct, for example: they are told two minutes before Zuhr that your 'Asr prayer which you combined with Jumu'ah is not valid, so you must repeat 'Asr,We say: Pray it now.
