Question:
Abu Ali al-Farikh says: There is a mosque where the Friday prayer is performed. These people who pray in the secluded part of the mosque, O Shaykh, they go ahead of their imam in the mosque. Is their prayer valid?
Answer:
It is not obligatory for them to pay attention to this, nor to go ahead of the imam. It is obligatory for them to pay attention to this and know their position behind the imam, and not to go ahead of him. Yes.
