Question
2 In the Darul Uloom we also noticed that at the Salaah times they lock the gates where the students cannot attend Salaah with Jama'ah and all of them are baaligh. Since Shari'ah has given respite until Salaam that if someone was late for some reason he will get the reward of getting his Jama'ah. Is it permissible to do that for some madrasah rules like getting them to be on time for Salaah etc..?
Answer
We cannot comment on locking of the gates without having an explanation from the Madrasah as to the reason for this action. However, it is unacceptable for students living in the Madrasah to come late to the Musjid. They should be in the Musjid by the time the Athaan is recited. If students are so lethargic and unconcerned as to come late despite living on the Madrasah grounds, then they deserve to be severely punished or even temporarily suspended to jolt them to understand the notoriety of their late-coming. Missing Takbeer Ula for no valid reason is a major sin. They learn only Qur'aan and Hadith, yet the importance of Salaat has not registered in their minds. If their Islaah is not made at Madrasah, where and when will it be made after they leave the Institution? There are no more genuine khaanqas for tarbiyat purposes.
