Prayer in the workplace inside the company
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: This is the owner of a company, and he asks, saying that he established a prayer area inside the company so that all the employees could pray in congregation there, and so that work would proceed smoothly and not be interrupted. So one of the employees objected to him regarding that, saying that prayer on the land—what is the correct ruling in that?
Answer:
By Allah, this is an issue that arises even in schools. Even in schools, they say that if the students went out to the mosque, there would be disruption in the studies, and perhaps some students would run away. Likewise, if there is a necessity for the workers, or if harm would result for the work or the studies, they pray in the workplace, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
