regarding the ruling on leaving a job that prevents performing the prayer in congregation: Is it permissible for the worker to remain in his job until he finds a replacement, or is it obligatory for him to leave it immediately?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O our Shaykh, excuse me, regarding the question here, the nature of the work, for example, is that it prevents one from performing one of the prayers. In this case, does he leave this work to preserve the command of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) and look for another, or does he remain in it and continue, meaning he stays in this job and looks for another job, or does he leave the job immediately?

The Shaykh : If he wishes to remain disobedient to Allah, he stays in the job until he finds a clean job. But if he wishes to be mindful of Allah, it is obligatory for him to leave this job immediately.
