What is the ruling of Islamic law on working in an internet cafe frequented by young people to play electronic games and waste time, which forces the worker to pray Maghrib alone and delay praying Isha?
It is impermissible to work in an internet cafe if it entails missing congregational prayers, because they are obligatory upon men. Moreover, it may lead to temptation (fitna) due to intermingling with the patrons of such places. Abandon this work, for whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better.
