Is leaving work due to the abundance of women, sometimes delaying prayer, and the presence of temptations everywhere, considered correct or a hindrance to means?

Exposure to tribulations and evil deeds is a reality for shopkeepers. Therefore, a Muslim must be cautious by lowering his gaze and minimizing speech with unveiled women. One should not abandon the pursuit of livelihood because of this reality, for marketplaces have been places of mixing since ancient times, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his companions frequented them. There is no harm in working in permissible professions to earn a living, but one must guard the tongue, lower the gaze, monitor prayer times, and not be distracted from them. Delaying prayer by half an hour is not problematic as long as the time for it has not expired.
