The ruling on performing the prayer at the workplace when there is fear of theft
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother Muhammad 'Abd Allah says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on my work? I work in a commercial shop, Honorable Shaykh, and the owner of this shop does not allow me to go to the mosque to perform only the midday prayer, so I pray it in the shop, may Allah preserve him. Is that permissible for me, knowing that I maintain performing the other prayers in the mosque?
Answer:
If the shop is feared to be subject to theft or loss, then yes, you pray in the shop, because you are a guardian over this thing, a guard, so you pray in that place, and you have a dispensation in this, and praise be to Allah.
