The ruling on retaining workers who neglect the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may the prayer and peace be upon the leader of the two sanctuaries, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The questioner:
My dear brothers and sisters, peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Welcome to this blessed meeting on the program *Light on the Path*. The guest for this meeting is the Honorable Shaykh Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan, a member of the Committee of Senior Scholars and a member of the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta. Welcome, Shaykh, to this meeting. May Allah welcome you and bless you. We begin this meeting with a message from a questioner in Riyadh. He says: I am a young man responsible for workers, and these workers neglect the prayer. How many times have I advised them to pray, but to no avail. They pray once and then leave it off once. I am not always with them. Honorable Shaykh, do I sin because of that? And what is the guidance of Shaykh Salih on this matter? In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
The Shaykh:
Do not keep them with you if they do not commit to the prayer. Then you must terminate their contracts and send them back to their countries.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
