Q: The Christian regular private schools in Ethiopia have a policy of preventing Muslim children from performing Salah (Prayer) inside the schools, which prompted some Muslim students to leave their school and some others to delay the Salah, given that there are regular government schools which allow Muslim students to perform Salah. The problem lies in the lack of discipline in the government schools and in the teachers themselves who are unqualified and further do not observe their regular working hours, which has an extremely negative influence on the students' levels. In contrast, the Christian private schools are totally different from the government schools in terms of (Part No. 7; Page No. 41) order and teachers' discipline and competence. Is it permissible for Muslim students to combine the Maghrib (Sunset) and `Isha' (Night) Prayers at the time of the later one, so as to continue their classes in the Christian regular private schools, or do they have to leave these schools and join the government schools despite their defects?
