The Prayer of a Security Guard at His Worksite
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I work as a security guard at a facility, and I pray the prayers at their times at my post because I am unable to leave the post and go to the mosque, even though it is nearby. Is my prayer valid?
Answer:
Your prayer is valid, and you are excused in this if you are entrusted with the security. It is not permissible for you to go to the mosque and leave it, because that would result in the loss of the work entrusted to you. So you are excused in your prayer at the security post. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
