Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 18446 )
Q 1: Is it permissible for students of knowledge to advance the prayer or delay it, excusing themselves by their pursuit of Islamic knowledge , and that they are unable to leave before the end of the class?
A 1: The prayer has a specific time, so it is not permissible to delay it beyond that time or advance it before it, and seeking knowledge is not an excuse for delaying the prayer from its time or
advancing it before its time. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:103] And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
