Question:
He says: I came to the Haram and found that the prayer had already begun. I saw rows in the courtyards of the Haram, so I prayed with them. Is my prayer valid, given that the inside of the Haram is not crowded?
Answer:
The prayer is valid, but it would have been better for you to move forward into the Haram to be in the front rows, rather than in the back rows, especially since there is space in the front rows.
