Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some students of knowledge arrive at the mosque early to attend the lesson, and they reserve a place for some of their friends who have not yet arrived. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh:
If they are going to attend, meaning you are certain of their attendance, then there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
The presenter:
That is the end. May Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
