The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some companies set up a prayer room for the employees to pray in congregation, despite the proximity of the mosque.
The Shaykh:
At their convenience.
The questioner:
Given the proximity of the mosque, is it permissible to work in such a company? And is it permissible for them to prevent the employee from praying in the mosque outside the company?
The Shaykh:
If going to the mosque affects the work, he prays in the company; they pray in congregation in the company. If going to the mosque affects the work, but if it does not affect the work, they go to the mosque. Yes.
