The ruling on praying the Friday prayer in companies without permission

Question:
This questioner, Ahmad al-Rifai, says: Peace be upon you. We work in a company on a shift system, and on Friday we pray the Friday prayer, where one of our colleagues delivers the sermon. Since the work is not harmed, one of the brothers told us that we must pray it as the midday prayer, because he says that is better.

Answer:
And they are better. This is the obligatory duty. It is not permissible for them to pray the Friday prayer, because the conditions for establishing the Friday prayer are not met for them. The Friday prayer is not established except with a ruling from the competent authority. This is not permissible, because the competent religious authority examines the availability of the conditions and justifications, and then grants permission to establish the Friday prayer. This is a great danger, meaning that a person prays according to his own desire and opinion without referring to the people of knowledge and the people of authority. His conscience is not cleared by doing so. So pray it as the midday prayer in a place. Yes.
