Is it permissible to shorten the Dhuhr and Asr prayers in a foreign company in Palestine due to fear of dismissal from work?
It is not permissible to shorten the four-rak'ah prayer except when traveling or during the prayer of fear (Salat al-Khawf). Therefore, it is not permissible to shorten the Dhuhr, Asr, or Isha prayers unless you are a traveler. One must not pay attention to the whispers of Satan, for indeed, honor belongs to Allah, His Messenger, and the believers. And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever seeks Allah's pleasure despite people's displeasure, Allah will suffice him against people's burden. And whoever seeks people's pleasure despite Allah's displeasure, Allah will entrust him to people." Tranquility (طمأنينة) is a pillar of prayer, and thus a Muslim must observe tranquility in all pillars of their prayer.
