The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

Can one pray both Dhuhr and Asr together if time interval between them is short?

Answer

It is not permissible to jointly perform 2 Salaats in one Salaat time, each Salaat should be performed in its specific time. However, if due to a valid excuse, e.g. on a journey, etc. then it will be permissible to delay Dhuhr until the end of its time and Asr could be performed in its beginning time. That is apparent joining of two Salaats.
