A Traveller Combining Jumu’ah and ‘Asr Prayers

 

Question: Is it permissible for a traveller, if he prays Jumu’ah prayer with residents, to combine ‘Asr prayer with it?

Response: It is not permissible for him to do that because nothing should be combined with the Jumu’ah prayer. Rather, he must perform the ‘Asr prayer during its time. But if a traveller performs Dhuhr prayer on Friday without praying Jumu’ah prayer with residents, there is no blame upon him to combine it with ‘Asr prayer, because Jumu’ah prayer is not obligatory upon a traveller; and because the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) combined Dhuhr and ‘Asr during the Farewell Pilgrimage on the day of Arafah with one Adhaan and two Iqaamah, and he did not perform Jumu’ah prayer.
