The guard’s prayer at his post and leaving the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, I am a guard at a workers’ housing facility.
The Shaykh:
May your family be guided.
The questioner:
At the workers’ housing facility.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
They are non-Muslims, and there is a mosque nearby, and I pray in my place and do not go to the mosque; because if I go to the mosque, they bring in forbidden things. Is my prayer valid?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if the guards are present, if the guards are inside the mosque, and harm occurs, then where will you pray? At the guard post.
