The security shift workers pray the tarawih prayer in congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of fatwa number ( 19159 )
Q1: We work in the police force of al-Sabikhah and we take 24-hour shifts, and during
our shifts we pray in a small group of about four people, the shift workers, and that is the tarawih prayer for this blessed month. We hear the nearby mosques, which are 1500 meters away, but we are unable to pray with them because we fear that accidents might occur while we are on duty for accidents. Is our prayer valid? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good?
A1: There is no harm in your praying the tarawih prayer in congregation at your place of work, because this combines the benefit of performing the work with the benefit of performing the act of worship. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
