Prayer: What Is the Ruling on Prayers Performed in Schools Built on Usurped Land?

English:

Question #370:

I lead the congregational prayer in some schools. The schools are built on the lands without the consent of the landlords. What is the rule of my prayer and those of the students there?

Answer #370:

If it is considerably probable that the related official has built schools there on the basis of legal and shar‘ī permission, to say prayer there is no problem.
