Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This man from the Netherlands also asks: We are employees in the Netherlands, and our manager does not allow us to leave for the Friday prayer. Friday is not a holiday, and the mosque is kilometers away, so we do not hear the call to prayer. His question is: Do we sin if we leave the Friday prayer?
Answer:
Yes, the Friday prayer is an individual obligation. If the one who prevents you from attending does not allow you to work there, go work for someone else. Seek employment with someone else. Yes.
