Unable To Pray At Work?

Questioner: A man works as a security guard on the streets of Paris and sometimes is unable to break away from his work in order to pray, so is it permissible for him to pray sitting while in his car?

Sheikh: Does he do security for the disbelievers?

Questioner: Yes.

The sheikh: The security is for the disbelievers, in service of the disbelievers. He should search for another job where he can fear Allah and perform the prayer in its time. As for work with the disbelievers that leads to delaying the prayer or performing it upon desires, then no, a thousand times, no! For this reason Allah’s Messenger -sallahu alayhi wa salaam- prohibited living among the disbelievers as this is its fruit. This is the evil fruit that whomsoever lives in non Muslim countries reap.
