Question:
A questioner says: I work in a private company four days a week, and during that time I am forced to delay the 'Asr prayer by about an hour and a quarter, due to the nature of the work in the company. The question is: what do you advise me to do in this regard? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is obligatory for you to pray with the congregation. Pray with the congregation closest to you. Do not delay; do not pray alone. Pray with the congregation closest to you. If you are unable to pray with the congregation because doing so would cause you to miss work, pray in your place at the time and do not delay the prayer. Pray at the workplace and do not delay the prayer. Yes.
