The negligence of employees regarding the congregational prayer and the suspension of work during prayer times

Question:
Many administrative departments or companies complain about the loss of prayers and the lack of care for them. The best of their situations is when they have a small prayer hall where visitors and many administrative employees pray. Some employees are negligent in establishing the congregational prayer in their workplaces. Does this not contradict their trustworthiness? We also request guidance to establish large prayer halls in all departments and to stop work completely during prayer times.

Answer:
This is the obligatory duty. It is obligatory for all departments to stop work at prayer times and for everyone to pray in the mosque nearest to them. If the mosques are far from them, they should establish a mosque or prayer hall at their location where everyone can pray. The head of the department and his senior employees should be the ones who lead, the role models. They should take the lead in good deeds so that those below them can follow their example. They should not lag behind. The manager of the establishment, the head of the establishment, and his senior employees should be the first to good deeds, hastening to good deeds, so that people follow their example in good. They should be in the first row, hastening to the prayer to perform it in congregation, so that those below them follow their example. This is the obligatory duty for everyone. And it is for the rulers to observe this. The rulers should observe all departments so that they are upright in the command of Allah, so that they perform the prayer as Allah has prescribed. Yes.
