[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 2884998, member: 45230"] A similar situation: In fact, Islamic scholars generally agree that while prayers command high priority, they can be missed or performed later in extenuating circumstances. “Employers have the right to protect themselves. Unfortunately, there are Muslims who abuse the system,” said Imam Yahya Hendi, president of Clergy Without Borders, an interfaith organization in Washington, D.C. Hendi said that it was un-Islamic to accept pay for work one did not perform, and chastised the fired Hertz workers for making Islam seem “complicated” and “inadaptable to America.” “If Muslims can do it on their own time, this is the idea,” said Zulfiqar Ali Shah, executive director of the North American Fiqh Council, a group of religious leaders who offer guidance on Islamic law. “If there’s a conflict between prayer and work, the Muslims should accommodate to work,” said Shah.
