Employees abandoning the congregational Salah except that of the Jumu`ah Prayer


A: A person who hires Muslim workers should urge them to offer Salah, encourage them to do this, and give them the chance to offer it.It is impermissible for the employer to let them work for him while they insist on abandoning the congregational Salah, as keeping silent on the issue indicates acceptance of their behavior, and thus, he is considered their partner in sin and their helper in falsehood and Munkar (that which is unacceptable or disapproved of by Islamic law and Muslims of sound intellect). Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) says, Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwâ (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
