Is it permissible for students to leave a lesson to pray, and to hold religious lessons during study time without permission?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Students should be encouraged to learn about their religion, while rationalizing this approach in a way that serves the legitimate Islamic interest. The timings for Dhuhr and Asr prayers can be set so as not to conflict with study periods, as the time for both prayers is ample. A time for religious lessons should be allocated that does not conflict with regular studies. The teaching of these lessons should not be restricted to specific individuals; rather, anyone qualified is permitted, with preference given to the most knowledgeable and righteous. Those in charge of the institute must fear Allah and strive to combine benefits or achieve the highest of them, and ward off harms.
