Is it permissible for me to offer the Fajr prayer before its prescribed time due to work circumstances that prevent me from performing it at its due time, or must I continue to make it up after returning home?

Prayer is the pillar of faith, and observing it on time is among the most obligatory duties. The entry of its time is one of the most emphasized conditions for prayer. Therefore, if it is impossible to combine work with observing prayer on time, it is obligatory to leave work. It is not permissible to delay prayer until returning home, nor to perform it before its time. Finally, a woman must be careful when she goes out to work to avoid forbidden intermingling with men. If she is from the lands of Islam, it is not permissible for her to reside in lands of disbelief except out of necessity.
