Summary
A traveller who meets the conditions may combine and shorten zuhr and asr as usual on Friday. If he chooses to perform the Friday prayer with asr, it is valid only as jamak taqdim: the Friday prayer first, then he stands again to pray asr shortened. Jamak ta'khir is not permitted because the Friday prayer belongs only to the zuhr time. A person who begins a journey before the break of dawn on Friday is not obliged to perform the Friday prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Orang bermusafir yang memulakan perjalanan sebelum terbit fajar subuh pada hari jumaat tidak diwajibkan solat Jumaat.
