Question:
I am a man employed in the military sector, and sometimes I am assigned to guard some gates from before the midday prayer until after the afternoon prayer, and I am unable to pray at the proper time. What is your opinion on this?
Answer:
You can pray at the proper time, my brother. Keep your ablution, and when the prayer time comes, spread your prayer mat in your place, with your guards, and pray while you are in your place. Yes.
