Question
The Muslim employees working for the Home department in the U.K. are not allowed to go to Musjid for Jumuah Salaat. They therefore perform Jumua Salaat on the premises. No one from outside is allowed to join in the Salaat. Is their Jumuah Salaat valid?
Answer
Jumuah Salaat is not valid in the premises of the employer described by you. They have to make qadha of Zuhr Salaat for all the Fridays that had been performing invalid 'jumuah'. It is haraam to work for such an employer. Whilst they are suffering the calamity of being employed by the kuffaar, they should perform Zuhr Salaat individually, not in Jamaat and also without Athaan and Iqaamat.
