The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for the imam to pray the obligatory prayer immediately after the adhan in a land of disbelief, for the sake of a benefit, which is that there are workers who will pray with him, and they are not allowed to be late for the company?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
Is it permissible for an imam to pray the obligatory prayer with the people immediately after the adhan in a land of disbelief so that workers who are not allowed by the company to wait can pray with him?
The Shaykh:
The imam takes into account the situation of the congregation. If their situation requires hastening, he hastens; if their situation requires delaying, he delays. This is according to the need of the congregation. Praise be to Allah, the matter is broad in this regard. Yes.
