I am a worker who works with a group of Muslims in a job, but I have not witnessed these workers bowing to Allah in prayer, except only on the two festivals, for a period of one year.

The questioner : May Allah reward the honorableThe Shaykh : I am a worker who works with a group of Muslims in a job. But I have not witnessed these workers bowing to Allah in prayer, except only on the two festivals, for a period of one year. What is my obligation toward them, given that I have advised them many times? And what is the obligation of the employer? And what do you advise him? And do they become disbelievers by their action, such that it is forbidden for me to greet them with peace and speak to them? May you receive the best reward.

The Shaykh : Yes. It is obligatory for the one who is a partner with these people in their work, while they do not pray, to first advise them, warn them of the punishment of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and give them good news of what they will have if they stand by the obedience of Allah. If that benefits them, then that is it. And if it does not benefit them, it is obligatory for him to inform their employer, the one they work for, about their condition. And this employer must order them to pray. If they do not do so, he must send them away, because there is no good in them. It is not permissible to remain silent about them. Rather, it is obligatory to first advise them, and then send them to their countries second. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward our honorable father with the best reward, and make us among those who listen to the word and then follow the best of it.

The Shaykh : Amen.

The questioner : And may Allah send prayers and blessings and bestow favor upon His servant and His Messenger Muhammad.
