Question:
May Allah reward you. The honorable scholar asks: Is the prayer valid in the mosque that is at the workplace? If only the midday prayer is performed there, especially since there is a mosque near the workplace.
Answer:
If praying in the mosque at the workplace is more organized for work and people pray there, then pray with the people, praise be to Allah. If there is a congregation praying, pray with them, because this is closer and easier for the employees, and it is also more organized for work; because if they went out to the mosque, there would be dispersal, and perhaps some of them would not return. So they make the prayer inside the offices in order to organize the work, and work is a trust in your care. If the Muslims pray in congregation in the office, then you pray with them. Even if they do not pray except during working hours, there is no harm. If people do good, do good with them, and if they do evil, avoid their evil.
