The midday prayer in the school in two groups and its delay
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In our school, due to the narrowness of the prayer area, we divide the praying students and teachers into two groups. The first group prays, and then the second group comes and prays the midday prayer. Do we miss out on the reward because the space is narrow and we only prayed as the second group?
The Shaykh:
You will not miss out on the reward, if Allah wills, but try to expand the prayer area in the school so that it can accommodate all the students in the school. Yes.
The questioner:
In the case of delaying the prayer, as happens in some schools, where they may be delayed by half an hour or an hour from the prescribed time, does that count as missing the reward?
The Shaykh:
If there is a need for it, there is nothing wrong with it, and the reward is not missed, if Allah wills. Yes.
