The ruling on missing the Friday prayer due to employment in Western countries
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Many Muslims in Western countries do not pray the Friday prayer because they are not permitted to leave their jobs, and their weekly day off falls on Saturday and Sunday. What is the ruling in this matter?
Answer:
The ruling is that they must arrange their work and jobs according to the requirements of their religion, not according to the systems of the disbelievers. If the job does not allow you to pray the Friday prayer, and there is a mosque nearby where the Friday prayer is held, do not work in that job. Seek other work, for your religion is more binding on you than your job. Yes.
