The Prayer of School Bus Drivers in Congregation Before the Iqamah

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am a bus driver for students in private schools, and these students leave with the adhan or shortly after the adhan. So, do we pray the congregational prayer with the drivers before the iqamah in the mosque? Or what do we do, since we do not reach our homes until after one-thirty?

The Shaykh:
Repeat the question.

The questioner:
He says: I am a bus driver in private schools, and the students leave with the adhan or after the adhan. So, is it permissible for us to pray in congregation as drivers before the iqamah in the mosque?

The Shaykh:
The one in charge of the school or the schools must adjust the timing so that they do not leave until the drivers and the students have prayed, and then they leave. This is so that there is no loss or chaos, and so that some do not pray while others do. And they should not make them leave before the adhan by a certain time. Before the adhan by a certain time. Or they should let them pray at the school and then depart. Yes.
