Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is a university lecture considered an excuse for the professor and the students not to attend the congregational prayer in the mosque? Because he says: In our university, there is a conflict between class times and prayer times.
Answer:
Why do you not adjust the class times to match the prayer times? The prayer times are more obligatory than the classes, so the schedule is adjusted so that it does not conflict with the prayer times. Yes.
