The ruling on praying the midday prayer in the workplace prayer area when a mosque is nearby
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: There is a prayer area in the administration where I work where the employees gather to pray the midday prayer, and there is a nearby mosque in the vicinity. Is it obligatory to go to the mosque and not recommended to pray in the prayer area, given that some people say there are opinions from some scholars on this matter? The default is to go to the mosque, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Answer:
Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:352 from it, so the default is to go to the mosque. However, if going to the mosque results in harm to the work or the dispersal of the employees or students, such that they are scattered and do not return to work and the work is lost, then they pray in the workplace for the sake of preserving the work, to ward off the harm. But if there is no harm, then it is obligatory for them to pray in the mosque.

Answer:
"Whoever hears the call and does not respond, he has no prayer except"
من سمع النداء فلم يجب فلا صلاة له إلا
