Praying with Employees in the Prayer Area or in the Mosque Outside of Work

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: There is a prayer room at my workplace where the employees gather, and I would like to volunteer to lead them in the midday prayer. There is also a mosque outside the building, located between two hundred and three hundred meters from the workplace, with a main road between us and it. The question is: which is better, praying with the employees at the workplace, or going to pray in the mosque?

Answer:
If you are able to pray in the mosque, then the mosque is better without a doubt. But if, as you mentioned, there is a main road with cars between you and the mosque, that is dangerous. Crossing it is dangerous, and the cars are moving; this is a great danger. So pray at the workplace to avoid the danger. How many people have gone to that road, crossed the street, and then a car comes and something happens? One becomes inattentive, or the driver is inattentive, or there is [something else], or he is speeding. So if there is a main road between you and the mosque, pray with the group at the workplace. Pray with the group at the workplace and do not put yourself in danger. Yes.
