Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Many companies have a room called a prayer room, and the mosques are close to them, but they pray in this prayer room. Is this permissible?
Answer:
If their prayer is in the workplace and it is more organized, and it does not cause them to lose their work, then there is nothing wrong with it. There is nothing wrong with it out of need, even if the mosque is close to them. However, if their work is not disrupted by praying in the mosque, they must pray in the mosque. Yes.
