What is the ruling on workers praying in the factory outside its prescribed time, and is it permissible for them to combine prayers in this situation?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Delaying prayer beyond its prescribed time is a major sin, and being preoccupied with work is not an excuse for it, because the reasons for combining prayers are specific (travel, fear, rain, illness). A Muslim must prioritize prayer over work and trade, for Allah provides sustenance to those who fear Him.
