Question:
This is a message we received from the listener Saleh Alian al-Huwayti. He says: I am a guard for something important among the state's property, and there is a Friday mosque near me, but I fear for what I am tasked with guarding after I leave. Is it permissible for me to leave it and go to prayer?
Answer:
No, guarding is an excuse. A guard of something important that he fears for is not allowed to leave it and go to Friday prayer or congregational prayer. Rather, he must pray in his place, and attending Friday prayer and congregational prayer is dropped from him in this case, unless he finds someone to take his place who is not obligated to attend Friday prayer, such as a slave, women, and the like. Yes.
