Performing Jumu`ah Prayer by airline employees who work on shifts

Q: On behalf of me and my coworkers at Saudi Airlines in the Airport of Tabuk, I would like to have a Fatwa (legal opinion issued a qualified Muslim scholar) regarding the following: (Part No. 7; Page No. 92)  Since the time of some flights conflicts with the due times of Salah (Prayer), including Jumu`ah (Friday) Prayer, this prevents us from performing the Salah in congregation for an entire month; during which we perform it as a regular Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer. What is the ruling on this?


A: It is permissible for you to perform Jumu`ah Prayer as a regular Zhuhr Prayer at your workplace during the time of Zhuhr Prayer if you cannot perform Jumu`ah Prayer with Muslims.May Allah grant us success. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and Companions!
