The ruling on designating a specific week to encourage prayer in schools

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. In the schools, they hold what is called "Prayer Week," where they draw attention to its importance and increase the words spoken about it. What is the ruling on this week, may Allah preserve you?

Answer:
Prayer in the morning is not something limited to a week. The call to it must be continuous and not restricted to specific days. This is one of the corrupt customs: designating days to encourage prayer, days to encourage dutifulness to parents, and days to explain the rights of children. All of this has come to us from the systems of disbelief. Islam commanded us to encourage prayer, encourage obedience, and give admonition at all times, at every suitable time, without restricting it to a week, a day, a month, or even a year, saying "this is the year of prayer" or "this is the year of the child" or "this is the year of parents." All of these are corrupt customs. Yes.
