Question:
This questioner says: I work as a supervisor in a school, and the workday continues until the end of the Zuhr prayer. I am unable to leave the school to perform the prayer in the first congregation. Is it permissible for me to delay the prayer until after the end of the workday?
Answer:
It is obligatory for you to pray with the congregation in the mosque, or in your workplace, if it is possible for you to go out to the mosque. If the mosque is near and you can hear the adhan, it is obligatory for all of you to pray in the mosque. If the mosque is far, it is obligatory for you to pray in congregation at the workplace. None of you may pray alone, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the congregation and said:Bulugh al-Maram 2:308 A blind man said to him: O Messenger of Allah! I have no guide to lead me to the mosque. Do I have a dispensation to pray in my house? He said: Sahih Muslim 653 He said: Yes. He said: .
Therefore, it is obligatory for the believer to pray with the congregation if possible. If he can pray in the mosque, he prays in the mosque. If the mosque is far, they pray in congregation at their workplace. None of them may lag behind. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

من سمع النداء فلم يأت؛ فلا صلاة له إلا من عذرDo you hear the call to prayer?
هل تسمع النداء بالصلاة؟Then respond.
