Friday Prayer Leave for Civil Servants Published in the Official Gazette
Friday Prayer Leave for Freedom of Worship
The Friday prayer leave, which has been discussed for a long time, was published in the Official Gazette today. With the law that came into effect with the approval of the Prime Ministry, those who wish will now be able to go to Friday prayers even if it coincides with working hours. The leave begins with the start of the Friday prayer and ends with the end of the prayer.
So, Is Lunch Break Included in the Friday Leave?
Although this law was met with great happiness by the conservative segment, it is criticized by some. The employee's leave ends with the end of the Friday prayer. In this case, how will employees use their lunch break? How the law will function will become clear over time. It was also stated that this law, implemented for freedom of worship, has no relation to secularism and will not create a situation like secularism is being lost.
