Question:

salam, about salat,went you are at the journey on friday and it happens you got friday prayers,can you also pray asar at the same time
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Combining the Friday prayer and the ‘Asr prayer [for a traveler] is a controversial issue among the scholars; the most preponderant opinion - Allaah willing – is that it is permissible.

Therefore, if a person is a traveler and prays the Friday prayer, it is permissible for him to pray the ‘Asr prayer after it provided that he intends to combine before starting the first prayer (i.e. the Friday prayer) and that he prays the ‘Asr prayer directly (i.e. without undue delay) after the Friday prayer according to the view of the majority of the scholars may Allaah have mercy upon them.

Allaah Knows best.
