Q 1: Sometimes we travel on Friday morning, is it permissible to perform Jumu`ah (Friday) Prayer as Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer and combine it with `Asr (Afternoon) Prayer? (Part No. 7; Page No. 48


A 1: If one travels on Friday before noon, he can perform Jumu`ah Prayer as Zhuhr and can combine it with `Asr Prayers together either at the time of the earlier or the latter according to what is easier for him, and he can also shorten each Salah to two Rak`ahs. However, it is preferable to join the Jumu`ah Prayer if there is a Masjid establishing it on the way; but he cannot then combine `Asr with it and should wait until the time of `Asr starts to perform it. If it is afternoon and one has not yet started the travel, he must perform Jumu`ah Prayer before traveling.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
