The ruling on establishing a prayer area in the workplace
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The owner of a company asks, saying that he established a prayer area inside the company so that all the employees can pray in congregation there, and so that work continues without interruption if they were to leave. One of the employees objected to this, saying that prayer should be in the mosque. What is the correct position in this matter? And by Allah, this is an issue that arises even in schools,
Answer:
even in schools, where they say that if the students leave for the mosque, there may be a disruption in the studies, and perhaps some students will run away. Likewise, if there is a necessity for the workers, or if harm would come to the work or the studies, they pray in the workplace, and praise be to Allah.
