Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and may the prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.
His EminenceThe Shaykh : We go out for a break, and there is a mosque next to us. We hear the call to prayer, so when the mu'adhdhin calls, do we pray in the break area?

The Shaykh : Is the mosque far from you?

The questioner : No, it is close.

The Shaykh : I mean, if he were to call without a loudspeaker, would you hear him?

The questioner : No, they would not hear him.

The Shaykh : Then you owe nothing; pray in your place.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
