1347483 (Teach 'git merge' and 'git pull' the option --ff-only, 2009-10-29) says this is not allowed, as they contradict each other.
However, --ff-only is about asserting the input of the merge, and --no-ff is about instructing merge to always create a merge commit, i.e. it makes sense to use these options together in some workflow, e.g. when branches are integrated by rebasing then merging, and the maintainer wants to be sure the branch is rebased.
