Praying the Friday prayer while at work, so he prays at the workplace
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Now, a second question, Shaykh. It is the Friday prayer. I am at work, and sometimes the Friday prayer comes while I am at work, and I pray at work. Is there any sin on me?
The Shaykh:
If there is a mosque around you and the Muslims.
The questioner:
Yes, I have a mosque, Shaykh, at my workplace. I am responsible for it. It is an eight-hour shift, eight hours.
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible to work at the time of prayer, unless you are afraid that the money will be stolen or lost, and you are a guard. In that case, you pray the midday prayer in your place. But if it is not a guard duty, but rather paid work, then you pray with the Muslims and return to work. Yes.
