Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I drive a bus to transport school students. He says: I am unable to perform the midday prayer in congregation, and this is a constant situation. Because if I stop at the mosque, I fear for the students, and I also fear that a complaint may be filed against me by their guardians. He asks: What is your advice to me in this matter? And is it obligatory for me to stop to perform the prayer?
Answer:
If the ability to perform the prayer involves danger to the marriage. No. There is no fear. But if there is a mistake, it is not obligatory for him.
