Work is not an Excuse for delaying Prayer

Question :

I am an immigrant, working from seven o'clock in the evening until seven o'clock in the morning. Is it permissible for me to join the obligatory prayers and offer all of them together?

Answer:

It is not permissible to advance a prayer to before its time which is fixed by the Islamic law, even if there is work or some other excuse. Nor is it permissible to delay it until its time ends, without an excuse. And daily work is not considered a valid excuse for delaying it or for combining the prayers. It is possible to offer prayers in the workplace, or close to the premises and go to the mosque. Scholars have imposed a condition that the worker be able to perform the five prayers at their fixed times, along with their Sunan. They have only allowed prayers to be combined for reasons of travel, rain, illness or the like.
