Jumuah Salah in workplace

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by IslamicPortal.co.uk

We work in a warehouse and there are about 15 Muslims who perform Ṣalāh in the prayer room. As some of us work different hours, some brothers miss Jumuʿah Ṣalāh at the local mosques where we perform Jumuʿah Ṣalāh. If we all perform it in our workplace prayer room, is it permissible, so that no one misses Jumuʿah Ṣalāh?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم

Answer

It is permissible for you to organise Jumuʿah Ṣalāh in the workplace prayer room, as long as it is before the Jumuʿah Ṣalāh time ends and there is a minimum of four men in total.

قال محمد في الجامع الصغير (ص ١١٢): وإن نفروا عنه بعدما ركع وسجد سجدة أو نفروا إلا المسافرين والعبيد أو بقي من الرجال ثلاثة وذلك أدنى ما يكون بقي على الجمعة. وقال في الأصل (١/٣١١): قلت: أرأيت إماما خطب الناس يوم الجمعة ففزع الناس فذهبوا كلهم إلا رجلا واحدا بقي معه كم يصلي الإمام؟ قال: يصلي أربع ركعات، إلا أن يبقى معه ثلاثة رجال سواه فيصلي بهم الجمعة، وذلك أدنى ما يكون، انتهى۔
