Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man is responsible for transporting students to school and bringing them back, and he may miss the congregational Dhuhr prayer in the mosque. Is it permissible for him to delay the prayer until he finishes this work?
Answer:
Yes, because the children are left unattended and are in danger. There is no doubt that this is a matter of trust placed upon him. So if a person is entrusted with a task and it requires him to pray in his place and not go to the mosque, he prays in his place. Yes.
