The answer

The time for the Friday prayer extends until the end of the Dhuhr prayer time. The jurists have differed on the end of the Dhuhr time, with two opinions: The majority view is that it is until the shadow of everything becomes equal to its length. This is also the fatwa (ruling) adopted by the Hanafis, and they supported this with Prophetic narrations. As for the Hanafis, they hold that it is until the shadow of everything becomes twice its length. It is not permissible to delay the Friday prayer beyond the end of the Dhuhr time according to the majority, and this is considered a major sin. The prayer must be performed within its prescribed time. It is also not permissible to combine the Friday prayer with the Asr prayer because it is an independent prayer.
