The ruling on congregational prayer for one who works as a guard

Question:
A message reached the program from one of the listening brothers. He says: Your brother in Allah, Qa'ud Muhammad Sulayman, is Egyptian and works in Riyadh, on the Khurayj Road. Our brother says: I work as a guard in a warehouse for one of the companies, and the working conditions require me to be present for twenty-four hours, as there is no substitute for me, and the warehouse I work in has no one else working in it besides me. I am forced to pray alone because there is no mosque near me. Is my prayer valid, given the situation I have described? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it; your prayer is valid, and praise be to Allah. You are excused, and praise be to Allah, even if there is a mosque near you. If going to it would put the warehouse in danger, you pray alone because you are excused. However, if there is no danger and a mosque is near you where you can hear the call to prayer, it is obligatory for you to pray in the mosque. As for if those who appointed you do not approve of that and fear for their warehouse, the guard is excused if he prays in his place. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
