Challenges with Jamaat Salaah at University Masjid for Muslim Students

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: There is a masjid inside a university where many Muslim students live, but it often does not have any jamaat salaah on Sundays, though the Friday prayer is held there.

An imam is appointed for the masjid, but he often does not come for Fajr, Isha and prayers on weekends (maybe because he lives far from the university). When the imam is not present, anyone leads the prayer. Is it correct to start a 2nd jamaat after the imam has already led the 1st jamaat salaah?

Bismillaah

A: It is makrooh.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
