The Ruling on Abandoning the Congregational Prayer Due to Working in a Hotel

Question:
The listener, Nabil Husni, from Egypt, residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, says: I am a young man working in one of the hotels, and my shift lasts up to twelve continuous hours. I do not pray my prayers in congregation except for the Friday prayer, as I pray at my place of work. Is there a sin on me for not praying in the mosque?

Answer:
If you need the work and cannot find any other, and you are in need of it, then congregational prayer is dropped from you, congregational prayer, because you are excused, as you are tied to a job that you cannot leave, otherwise there would be a deficiency in your livelihood and seeking of sustenance. You are excused in this. Now, it is obligatory for the hotels in Muslim lands to provide an opportunity for their workers to pray in congregation, even if they just make a prayer place, for example, a place where the workers gather and pray in congregation, because congregational prayer is obligatory when possible. Yes.
