What is obligatory for a traveler who combines the 'Asr prayer with the Friday prayer?

Question:
The questioner says: We went to Makkah to perform the 'Umrah, and we intended—Allah willing—to travel to our country after the Friday prayer. One of the brothers suggested that we pray the 'Asr prayer shortened immediately after the Friday prayer, since we are travelers, even though we had only stayed in Makkah for three days. Is what we did correct? If not, what must we do?

Answer:
Combining the 'Asr prayer with the Friday prayer, we know no basis for it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do it, nor did his Companions. The scholars have stated explicitly that it is not permissible. Therefore, it is obligatory to make it up. The one who did that must make up the 'Asr prayer that he combined with the Friday prayer; it is obligatory for him to make it up. If he is reminded before the 'Asr time, he makes it up after the 'Asr time. If he is reminded after that, he makes it up; because he combined it outside its time, meaning he brought it forward before its time. We know no basis for this. Some of the Shafi'i scholars, and some people, said: there is no harm in it. But there is no evidence for that. The correct view is that the 'Asr prayer is not combined with the Friday prayer, and that whoever combines it with the Friday prayer must repeat it.

The presenter: Even if days have passed?

The Shaykh: If he knows, whenever he knows, he makes it up.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
