Is it necessary to establish prayer, the call to prayer (adhan), the iqama, and the Friday prayer in the main hall of a union that includes Copts and Muslims, or is it sufficient to use the designated prayer area, and is there anything in that which displeases Allah?

Copts should be treated within the bounds of necessity and interest, without affection or loyalty, as Allah Almighty says: "You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger." Muslims are permitted to pray in any place designated for prayer within the headquarters, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The entire earth has been made a mosque and a means of purification for me." However, it is better to pray in a nearby mosque due to its great virtue.
