The ruling on pulling a worshiper from a full row
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If you arrive at the mosque and find the row full, do I pull someone from the row to stand with me, or what should I do?
Answer:
It is correct that it is not permissible to pull someone, but you may alert him if he is late. As for pulling him, that is not supported by valid evidence. However, you may enter from the imam’s right, or try to find a gap in the row and enter it, or wait for the person entering. You pray, and the person entering prays. Yes.
