If the workplace prevents one from leaving, and the workplace is in a village or a city, it is permissible to perform the Friday prayer at the workplace. The Friday prayer is valid in any place within villages and cities, and wherever a congregation can be formed. However, if the workplace is in the desert, the Friday prayer is not prescribed, and one must pray Dhuhr (the noontime prayer).
