Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is a question regarding teaching: In some schools in Kuwait, there are remedial classes for students. On this day, the failing students miss the Zuhr prayer. Is this considered, from the perspective of delaying the prayer, the hadith that says? I mean, the students are forced to delay in order to take an extra lesson, and consequently they do not pray Zuhr in its time.
The Shaykh : Why? How long is the lesson? Between Zuhr and 'Asr, there is a long time that can accommodate the prayer, so why do they miss the prayer?
The questioner : No, they miss the time; I mean the congregation in the mosque.
The Shaykh : You mean the congregation, and the congregation is held in the schools?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Not in the mosques?
The questioner: No.
