Seeking a space in the first row when the mosque is full

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If the mosque is full of worshippers, Shaykh, am I allowed to look for a place in the first row to take a space in the first row?

Answer:
If you are able to find a space by asking the worshippers to make room for you, then this is obligatory, and it is a good thing. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Be gentle with your brothers.لينوا بيد إخوانكم.
And if you push through and end up to the right of the imam, you enter and end up to the right of the imam, this is permissible. If you do not find a place in the row and you are unable to enter to the right of the imam, you wait until someone comes to pray with you behind the row, yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
