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?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the question is about a group of university students taking care of the university mosque and rotating in leading prayers (Imamah) and making the call to prayer () in it, then there is no objection to that if the mosque does not have a regular imam. 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.
