The mosque is far from him and he hears the adhan, but his employer does not allow him to go to prayer

Question:
May Allah reward you and do you good. This is a message from the listener Babakr al-Zubayr Mubarak, a Sudanese resident in the Kingdom, containing a number of questions. In the first he says: I am a kilometer and a half away from the mosque and I hear the call to prayer, but my employer does not allow me to go to the mosque; he wants me to work continuously. Is it valid for me to pray at home, or not?

Answer:
If you hear the call to prayer with the unamplified voice, not through a microphone, because a microphone can be heard from a great distance, but if it is with the unamplified voice and you hear the call, it is obligatory for you to respond, and it is not permissible for the employer to prevent you from doing so for the sake of work, because the time of prayer is excluded from work, so he has no right to prevent it, except if your going results in the loss of money or there is a fear of it being stolen or something similar of dangers, then this is a legitimate excuse and you pray at the place of work and secure the work so that it does not become disordered or lost or stolen, but if there is safety and he only wants you to work, then the time of prayer does not enter into the work and he has no right to it; you go and pray with the congregation and return to work, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
