The guard’s prayer alone due to guarding

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Please, my brother Musa, join us from the Prophet’s city on the line. It is not easy. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. And peace. Do you want to ask the Shaykh? May Allah reward you with good. Go ahead, go ahead. Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. I work in security guarding, and when the time for the 'Isha' prayer comes, I wait to pray alone. Will I be in the protection of Allah until I become [a disbeliever]? What Allah willed, thank you. And thank you, may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
You are performing a guard duty.

The presenter:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
And you do not leave the place for the sake of guarding; you pray in your place. Yes, you have an excuse for this. You have an excuse to pray in your place for the sake of performing the guard duty. And you do not get the reward of the congregation. Rather, you are granted a dispensation to leave the congregation for the sake of guarding. Yes.
