salaam

the forklift brothers in foxs biscuits factory used to arrange the pallets of biscuits in such a way that it left a space in the middle surrounded with pallets. this created a private area to hold jamaat.

but i have never had a problem finding a place to pray or ever had a problem praying in the open. doesnt really take much effort to find a quiet spot.

Saudi Arabia: Must everything stop for prayer?

YES

Source

People in Muslim lands often stop what they're doing when the call to prayer comes from the local mosque five times daily. But Saudi Arabia is the only country where everything shuts down for the duration.

Commentator Abdulateef Mulhim calls for relaxation of the rule in the Jeddah newspaper Arab News, saying the question for most Saudis is not why shops close, but why they stay shut for longer than the five to 15 minutes that prayers last. He puts this down to the rise of giant shopping malls, the "sheer size of which means many people take undue advantage and report back to their positions much later".

He says Islam allows workers to pray in shifts, and calls for petrol stations, chemists and malls to remain open by adopting this practice.

He is not alone in basing his call for reform on religious rulings. Senior cleric Abdullah al-Owailet says the practice is an "innovation" with no basis in Islamic law, as shops didn't close during the time of the Prophet Muhammad. And Issa al-Ghaith, a member of the Advisory Council quasi-parliament is preparing a bill to allow hospitals, chemists and malls to remain open.

These proposals are gathering plenty of support from social media users but also considerable criticism over whether practical needs can ever trump Saudi tradition. Ayedh al-Selemi, a legal analyst at Imam Mohammad Bin Saud University, has laid down the bottom line for the time being. "There are differences between scholars as to whether congregational prayers are obligatory. But they are currently obligatory because of the laws of the kingdom," he tells the Saudi Gazette.

Lol! once on holiday i got stuck in this tiny lil bathroom. The door just jammed and there was no way to open it without breaking it, which we didn't want to do since it wasn't our own apartment. Time for fajr was running out so my dad said i must just read inside while they try and get it opened from outside. I had to put a towel down in the shower cubicle and read fajr there. I think that was the weirdest place i prayed!

What's the need for prayer rooms in shopping malls? Should not the men be in the Masjid at Salah time & should not the women be at home?

The only justification given for having a prayer room in a shopping mall is so that Salah is not missed at all, but is that the state that we have reached that, rather than aim for the Sunnah method of praying in the Masjid or, in the case of women, within the confines of their home, we have to accommodate the irresistible consumerism of the Ummah by providing a prayer room so that they don't miss Salah?

Yes, for those that are working in the mall, that's a different matter but for the rest of us I am sure we can shop outside Salah times. In any case, should we not be spending as little time in an environment of ghaflah?

Because it may be contractually difficult for them to leave for Salah & get back in time for work or they may simply not be able to get to a Masjid for 3 Salahs in winter whilst they are working. One may argue that they should find alternative employment where going to the Masjid is permitted but in the interim until that happens the prayer room or an area for them would be a necessity.

So what makes you think that this isn't the same case with those already in the mall? The nearest Masjid may take half an hour to get to. In UK Zuhr is at 1:30 and Asr can be at 3pm in winter. The prayer rooms also conduct congregational prayers so how can this be put down to spending time in places of Ghaflah? Otherwise with these points I can raise the same concerns about everything imaginable. From driving (traffic makes you miss Salah) to even sleeping as that can make you miss Salah in the Masjid. There's a balance to everything while your ideology is inshaAllah of rewards and piety, the above would make Islam very extreme. I commend those who read Salah at its time no matter what situation they're in whereas your approach condemns their situation of being in that position to read Salah there.

There's those in the mall out of choice and it's obvious they are not workers. They should be praying in the Masjid at Salah time. No? Do they need to do their shopping at Salah time? Do the women need to be out at Salah time trying to find space in a room full of ghayr mahram with, in certain cases, music being heard outside?

Oversleeping and being stuck in traffic are extenuating circumstances. Shopping at Salah time is more often than not out of choice. Qur'an speaks of establishing Salah. Many things come under that. Going straight from mall in to a room within the mall in the circumstances described above is hardly tantamount to establishing Salah.
