Missing Salah Due To Other Activities.
To follow up on this response, what if we know that despite combining prayers, we will still miss an activity? For example, my daughter wants to join a youth soccer league. But we know that due to the short day time here in the west, she will inevitably miss prayer Zhuhr and Asr prayer before reaching home (she does not feel safe or comfortable praying in front of her peers). Would that make this activity haram for her? Should we forbid her from joining it? By extension, does this make other recreational activities haram as well (that would knowingly result in missed prayer?) For example, my daughter also studies at the library, but will often miss Zhuhr and Asr if she goes there after school because there is no place to pray (physically – she could come home first and pray, but that would take her over an hour round trip). What is the most reasonable course to take in situations like these? Should my husband and I move to Pakistan instead, if the lifestyle in the West is creating these issues?
