What is the ruling on a university employee using university transport buses designated for students, with the drivers' approval, to commute between home and work?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If university transportation is designated for students, it is not permissible for others to use it, even if the person is a university employee or the drivers agree. The decisive factor is the approval of the authorized official from the university administration, who evaluates the cost, time, and the potential overcrowding for eligible students, thereby fulfilling the purpose of providing transportation.
