The Duha Prayer for the Employee During Working Hours
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for an employee to pray the Duha prayer during working hours, even though the time belongs to the Muslims, and this may disrupt the work?
Answer:
If it disrupts the work, it is not permissible for him to do so, because work is obligatory and the Duha prayer is a recommended practice, so one must not miss an obligation for the sake of that. However, if this does not cause him to miss his work, there is no harm in his praying the Duha prayer. But if it causes him to miss his work, it is not permissible for him to do so.
