Working late is not an excuse for delaying Salah

Q: I usually miss the ‘Asr (Afternoon) Prayer and offer it at home, because my work ends just after the Adhan (call to Prayer) of ‘Asr Prayer. I leave work tired not even having any time to rest or eat and I cannot perform Salah (Prayer) on time. Is it permissible for me to delay Salah and offer it at home?

A: What you have mentioned is not an excuse to delay offering Salah in congregation. You should hasten to perform it with your Muslim brothers in the Masjid (Mosque), then you can rest and have your meal. Allah has made it obligatory upon you to perform Salah on time in congregation with your Muslim brothers. What you have mentioned is not a legal excuse for delaying it. This is driven by the insinuations of Satan, personal whims, weakness in Iman (Faith/belief) and lack of fear of Allah. You should beware of your personal whims, Satan and your lower self that is inclined to desires and evils and you will reach good end, gain salvation and happiness in this world and the Hereafter. May Allah guard you against the evil of yourself and the insinuations of Satan!
