Question
assalamu alaikum, my question is ,I work in a europe country end at this moment MAQRIB sala begins at 5:30 PM ,my work starts at 5:25pm so I do pray at 5:00 pm as it takes aout 15 minutes to reach my company. I finish my work one hour later than sheduled isha prayer.I work three hours constantly without a break. so please tell me whether it is acceptable what I do?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.
Allaah enjoins performing prayers in their prescribed times. They may not be performed before their prescribed time as we mentioned in our Fatwa: 82755.
So, you have to perform prayers in their fixed times. Work is not a legal excuse not to pray on the fixed times for prayers as we said in our Fatwa: 85689. However, you may leave your house early enough to pray Maghrib as soon as its time is due, and then attend to your job duties.
Allaah Knows best.
