Praying on the road or at the workplace with the congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah protect you. I work thirty kilometers from Riyadh, and I leave work with a group of people after a four-minute break. There is a mosque and another prayer place at the workplace. Is it permissible for us, as a group, to pray on this road, rather than making an effort to pray at the workplace or in Riyadh, because the car does not stop on the road for prayer?
Answer:
This depends on what is easier for you. If it is easier for you to pray on the road, then you pray on the road. If the car is waiting for you, and if you sit down to pray in the mosque at the workplace, you will miss the car, this is missing the company, and it is permissible for you to ride in the car and pray on the road. However, if the car is tied to you and does not leave except with you and waits for you, then it is obligatory for you to pray with the congregation at the workplace and then depart after the prayer. Yes.
