Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A man works, or a driver works, transporting students, and when the students leave, he misses the midday prayer in congregation at the mosque. If he were to pray it in congregation, he would delay them significantly, and he might face problems. His question is: Is it permissible for him to delay the prayer and pray it individually in this situation?
Answer:
Yes, he is excused because he is engaged in work. If he were to abandon this work, the work would be lost. He receives a wage for it and is responsible for it. So he delays the prayer until he is able to pray it, as long as the time has not passed. Yes.
