What is the ruling on a group of students managing a mosque in a university dormitory, by taking turns leading prayers and giving the call to prayer throughout the week?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

This falls under cooperating in righteousness and piety, provided that the conditions for leading prayer are observed, and it is recommended to give priority to the most deserving.
