The ruling on praying at the workplace and not going to the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : As for what follows, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on praying at the workplace, especially in schools where it is difficult for the workers to leave their work and go to the mosques where the congregation is held?
Answer : Praying at the place of work, whether it is a school, an administration, or something else, if it is difficult for those there to go out to the mosque and pray in the mosques, then they establish the congregation at their workplace, and there is no blame on them for that, if Allah wills. However, they should not disperse; rather, their imam should be one. As for each floor praying on its own, that is a division. If it is possible for them to gather behind one imam, that is what is required. If that is also not possible, because the places are far apart, there is nothing wrong with each floor praying on its own.
