Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:

The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you.

The questioner:

The Shaykh:
So, what do you have?

The questioner:
Okay, the second thing: in the schools, when the time for prayer comes, we appoint, O Shaykh, students or teachers to supervise the students during the prayer, and after the prayer ends, they pray in congregation, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh:

The questioner:

The Shaykh:
By Allah, I think it is not permissible; it has no basis. The obligation is what carries the weight.

The questioner:

The Shaykh:
