Summary
An employer's instruction for staff to perform the Dhuha prayer in congregation once a week is permissible. The conditions are that it is not tied to a specific day and is not treated as an obligation. In the Shafie school, Dhuha is not a prayer recommended in congregation, but praying it in congregation is allowed and not disliked. The session should also not take long, since it takes place during working hours.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Akan tetapi jika seseorang melakukannya secara berjamaah maka ia dibolehkan, dan tidak dikatakan yang perbuatan itu makruh.
