I charge by time, customers feel cheated if I continue prayer, when they finished. should I restart prayer or continue?

Question

I run an Internet cafe on my own. A customer may want to leave at any time. If I am in the middle of prayers, they may call me either to help them or to get their bill. As they are charged by time, they feel cheated if delayed by my prayers. Can I break off and continue, or shouuld I re-start from the beginning?

Answer

You should deduct fees from your client equivalent to the Salaat time.
