Prayer times in Non-Muslim countries.

I never talked to any of my bosses. I just go and find an empty conference room and do my prayers. I usually go at odd hours like at 1:18 pm, cause people schedule meetings at 1:00 or 1:30, so if the room is empty at 1:18, I know that I can say my prayers for next five minutes.

The reason I don’t ask is that then everyone and anyone can ask for a prayers break and boss can’t say no. One of my collegue jokingly once said that in his religion, he is suppose to take a ten minutes nap, two three times a day, so he should ask for that prayer break. He was joking, but he was right. If I can get mine then he is entitled for his. So I don’t officially ask because there is no need for it.

I just like to mention it upfront, so that it doesn’t become an issue at any point. If I’ll sneak it in here and there when I have the chance, then sometimes I might get the chance, other times I might not. The way I’ve done it, I don’t have to worry about meetings being scheduled in a way that will compromise my salat.

Also, another way I’ve seen it done by others is that they get flexibility for their lunch and other breaks, so they just coincide breaks with salat times.
