Holding two congregations at the same time in the school

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, in one of the schools, the school principal holds the prayer for two congregations at the same time,

The Shaykh:
in one of the schools.

The questioner:
In one of the schools, the school principal holds the prayer with two congregations at the same time, one in the school’s internal courtyard and the other outside, on the grounds that the younger students disturb the older ones with their excessive movement. So, seeking khushu' (humility in prayer), they pray in two congregations. Is this correct?

The Shaykh:
As for his saying that they do so seeking khushu' and therefore do not pray as one congregation, khushu' is from Allah the Exalted; it is granted by Allah. Or as for dividing the congregation, that is in the hands of Allah the Exalted. However, if they are being bad to the worshippers and disturbing them, then dividing them to remove the harm is fine. But for the sake of khushu', no, they pray, they all pray together.
