The ruling on praying in the workplace when a mosque is nearby

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The presenter says: What is the ruling on praying in the workplace, given that a mosque is nearby? Do you mean that you intend to go there?

Answer:
The one who is able to go to the mosque should go to the mosque and respond to the mu'adhdhin. However, if there is an obstacle to going to the mosque, such as the people becoming scattered, with some not praying, and praying in the workplace being more secure and better organized for the worshippers, or if going to the mosque would cause one to miss required work, then there is no harm in them praying in their place. Yes.
