Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Sometimes I have work on Friday, so is it permissible for me to ask my manager for permission to go to the Friday prayer, given that this manager is annoyed by my repeated requests for permission to do so?
Answer:
We said that the Friday prayer and the obligatory prayers do not require permission, and this is included in the employer's work; this is an exception. One does not prevent Muslims from praying, attending the congregational prayer, or attending the Friday prayer. He has no right to prevent them at that time.
