Teachers Praying Before Students in the School
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I will tell you, Honorable Shaykh, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. We are in a school with nine hundred students. Some of the teachers pray ten minutes before the students so that the teachers can supervise the students and direct those entering the prayer. If they leave it to the students, they rush to pray at the time, and some of the young people may not perform the prayer properly. Is it permissible for some of the teachers to pray before the students for the reason mentioned? May Allah the Exalted reward you with good.
Answer:
And Allah knows best, they should all pray together. The other teachers organize them before the takbir. The teachers and the students all pray together so that some of them will emulate others. The teachers and the servants they have supervise them in their organization, then he says the takbir. He does not pray alone and then pray alone. No. What is required by the Sharia principle is that the teachers and the students all pray together. There should be teachers and employees watching the students so that they straighten their rows and refrain from playing. The older, sensible people should be placed among them, in the middle, so that this is closer to safety, to their calmness, and to their not playing. Yes.
