What is your opinion on reinstating university housing for students?

The questioner : May Allah reward our Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) with the best reward, and benefit us with what we have heard. The truth is, there are a great many questions, and we will limit ourselves to some of them, because many of them overlap with one another. Many questions have come in regarding university housing and the reasons for its suspension, and what the Shaykh’s effort is to reinstate it so that the students can benefit from it, and these are the questions. They are all worldly matters. If there is anything left over. Strange.

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. My personal opinion is that students must have housing, because it contains many benefits and it averts many harms. The students are now scattered, and if the students were in housing, they would cooperate in righteousness and piety. Some of them would strengthen and support one another, and it would become possible for scholars to visit them for da'wah (calling to Islam) and teaching Islamic jurisprudence. But if every student or group of students is in a different place, this does not happen. As for my efforts, I swear by Allah that I am eager for the housing to be reinstated. I see that it is in the interest of the universities, in the interest of society, and that it is one of the causes of preserving security.
And I ask Allah the Exalted to grant our government success in what brings good and reform, especially for the students, who are the face of the ummah (the Muslim community). Because students of knowledge, whether in the Islamic sciences, social sciences, linguistic sciences, or other beneficial sciences for the country, are the face in reality. They are the face. So I am extremely eager for the housing to be reinstated. And we ask Allah the Exalted to grant the government success in what brings good and reform. And you too, call upon Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to facilitate this matter.
