Student in a boarding school sleeping in a place safe from sin
Question
I go to an all boys boarding school, and in the dormitory, when it's time to sleep, there are many boys that watch movies in the rooms, and they do all other sorts of Haraam in the room.
If there is an alternative place for me to sleep, such as a close by Masjid, or the library, is it permissible for me to sleep in the dormitory?
Answer
If you are able to sleep in another place where sin is not taking place then you should do so.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
