The answer

It is permissible for you to miss congregational prayers for work if your debt is due and you need to earn money to repay it, or if you fear harm from the debt remaining binding on you, such as the creditor pressing you or defaming you, or if you cannot repay except through this additional work. Among the excuses for not attending congregational prayers is the fear of imprisonment or being pursued by a creditor, as well as the fear of harm to one's livelihood.
