Q:
We work at the Petromin Refinery in
Riyadh.
We divided the shifts into four groups; each group offers Jumu`ah (Friday) Prayer once a month inside the Refinery for we have a Musalla (a place for Prayer) inside the control room. We offer Jumu`ah Prayer when its time is due.
We range from 13 to 15 employees, is the Jumu`ah Prayer which we offer valid? Indeed, we cannot leave our workplace although we live in
Riyadh.
Please, advise.
A:
If the matter is as mentioned, it is permissible for you to offer Jumu`ah Prayer in your workplace, (Part No. 8; Page No. 195) for Allah (Exalted be He) says,
So keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him as much as you can
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
