Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. The listener Ali Mutawwi sent a question, saying: I work in a warehouse, which requires me to remain there to guard the contents, and I am compelled to pray at my workplace. Is my prayer valid?
Answer:
If the situation requires your presence to guard the warehouse, you have the dispensation to pray at your workplace. For the one who guards something, if he leaves it to pray, he fears that the thing will be lost or stolen. This is what causes the dispensation for the guard to pray at his workplace in order to protect the thing he is guarding. Yes.
