The ruling on a man displacing another man from his seat to sit in it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A hadith has been reported. The questioner says: Shaykh, is it not permissible for a man to displace another man from his seat and sit in it?
Answer:
Yes, this is a prohibition. When a person enters and the gathering is full, he should not displace anyone to sit in their place, because the one who arrives first at a place has the greater right to it. However, if one of them stands up for him and lets him sit in his place, and he permits it, there is no harm. The customary and better practice is to keep the seats of the elders, the elderly, and the scholars of knowledge empty, so that no one sits in them. Yes.
