Praying on the road or in the workplace mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I work thirty kilometers from Riyadh. I leave work with a group ten minutes after the adhan for the midday prayer. There is a mosque and another prayer area at the workplace. We, as a group, must pray in this factory. That is because if we move, we will miss the work at the workplace or in Riyadh, since the driver does not stop on the road for prayer.
Answer:
This is according to what is easier for you. If it is easier for you to pray on the road, then you pray on the road. If sitting to pray in the mosque at the workplace would cause you to miss the car, this is a loss of the group, and it is permissible for you to ride in the car and pray on the road. However, if the car is tied to you and does not leave except with you and waits for you, then it is obligatory for you to pray with the congregation at the workplace and then depart after the prayer. Yes.
