I agreed with this anonymous some Muslims language is really unfortunate….

Salaam, I think banking is a more contentious issue… because it is more to do with having a halal income. I can’t be a drug dealer and say “I have children to feed” (to use an extreme example!).

You might also consider wearing a water proof apron suit that would cover and protect the cloth underneath and you can remove it during salah or for example when you have to go eat lunch or take your breaks , I mean just for your personal hygiene as well.

The shaikh answers makes a lot of sense too since Islamically nothing should stop us from praying.

jzkheir

salaam. I would like to believe your lost. I don’t see where your coming from.
Whom are you talking to by the way?

On such situation its vital for the individual to seek guidance from a learned person, and a person of knowledge in Islam and avoid bringing up the topic amongst people who do not posses such authority – since this creates negative feelings and thoughts and can lead to a discussion where many might get the wrong end of the stick.

It is more important for us to seek guidance and to stay close to our guides, simply because in the west there are many situation that we will come across which will need input from a learned person.

Why do arrogant people claim “we are guided and everyone else has gone astray!”
Only Allah (swt) out of his Mercy, decides whom to guide.

So stop claiming you are guided and keep asking!
