In the University of Riyadh, the time for Maghrib prayer enters during some of the lectures; what is the guidance?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I am a student at one of the universities in Riyadh, and I have a lecture after the Maghrib prayer. We hear the adhan and the prayer in a mosque near the college inside the university. He asks: Should I finish the lecture, since they do not end until after the prayer held in the mosque, and we pray in congregation with our classmates? Or should I ask for permission, respond to the call, and pray with the congregation?

The Shaykh:
Repeat the question.

The questioner:

Or should I ask for permission, respond to the call, and pray with the congregation?

The Shaykh:
This action is not permissible from the university. It is obligatory to review this with the university manager and the responsible party, so that the lecture ends before the prayer or begins after the prayer. As for the adhan being close to them and them continuing the lecture, and in Riyadh, which is the capital of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the capital of this, this is a matter that is not permissible. It is obligatory to review this matter with the responsible parties so that the schedule is corrected. Yes. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: So when they hear the mu'adhdhin, they preserve the measures and weights and go to the prayer. Yes.
