Question
Hello, In my educational institution, seats are reserved at the beginning of the academic year. The question is whether it is permissible to reserve a seat for a friend. [Note: In practice, many seats are reserved for others]. Thank you.
Answer
Hello and blessings
Everything depends on the decision of the yeshiva administration.
Source
The act of reserving a seat is not an acquisition and does not relate to the issue of reserving a seat for another when it is detrimental to others.
(See Bava Metzia 10, Tosafot and Ramban there, and Choshen Mishpat, siman 105).
