No. As others have suggested not only would the rope get tangled on the way down every single time but leaving beginner climbers to untie and retie in on a multipitch route without supervision is a bad idea.

You've said recently that you're fairly new to climbing so also ask yourself how confident are you with placing gear, equalising anchors, and doing so while guiding beginners up long routes? Do you know what to do if something goes wrong? All this needs to be considered if you'e taking people less experienced than yourself.

There are heaps of great single pitch routes that you could climb or even setup a toprope on so there is no need to complicate things just yet!
