What can we do if our class times in school are the same as salaah times?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.

As-salaamu `alaykum wa-ramatullahi wa-barakatuh.

Allah Ta`ala says in the Quran;

“Establish salaah for my remembrance”. (Sura Taha, Verse 14)

In another verse Allah Ta`ala mentions;

“And establish salaah, discharge zakaah and obey The Messenger so mercy can be shown upon you”. (Suratun Noor, Verse 56).

Abdullah ibnu Mas`ood (Radi Allahu Anhu) asked Rasulullah ﷺ, which action is most beloved to Allah? Rasulullah ﷺ replied;

“Salaah on its prescribed time”.[1]

(Saheeh Bukhari, Vol 1, Pg 183)

Allah Ta`ala says;

“Indeed, salaah has been ordained on the believers on a prescribed time”. (Suratun Nisaa, Verse 103)

You enquire if students can perform salaah later.

What do you mean by later?

You may obtain the perpetual salaah calendar and use that to perform salaah before the ending time of salaah. It is incorrect to leave out salaah completely and to make salaah qadhaa due to classes.

A believer is sensitive to performing salaah on time. He should do whatever it takes for him to perform salaah within the salaah time.

And Allah Ta`ala Knows Best.
