Question

I live in USA, working in a big store where all the time music is going on which is the normal routine in almost all the stores in USA/WESTERN WORLD, we offer our prayers in a room but the voice of music keeps coming in the room, is it ok to read namaz over there b/c there is no other space available.

Answer

When performing Salaat, one must look for a place where one can concentrate. If after searching for a suitable place for Salaat and no alternative is found except a room where music can be heard, then one will be excused.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
