The ruling on congregational prayer for one who works as a security guard
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After this, a message was sent by the listener Muhammad Amin. The brother Muhammad says: I work as a security guard in a building and I am unable to pray in the mosque except on Friday and for the Fajr prayer only, due to certain circumstances. So, is anything obligatory for me in that case? And will I be sinful? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If you are a security guard and you are not permitted to leave your post at the time of prayer, there is no blame on you; because you are excused in seeking a livelihood and in safeguarding the property of the one who hired you. So, a person who is a guard over a house, a shop, or other things has the excuse to pray in his place, and the congregation is dropped from him, yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
