Question

I live in london and i found a job in remote area where there is no mosques. which means i can't pray al jummeaa, should i accept it. asalam aliakoum


Answer

 

Alhamdu Lillah

 

Do your best to attend Juma’ah in the closest Masjid around your work. If it is far away, you can hold Juma’ah prayer in your work if you have a minimum of another Muslim to join you. Otherwise, take the job if you need it desperately while searching for another one that allows you to fulfill Allah’s command and pray Juma’ah with the muslim community.
