Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In the courtyards of the Haram, in the courtyards of the Makkah Haram, when the prayer is established, the followers pray in scattered congregations. Is it permissible for them to be behind the imam? Is it permissible for me to pray with one of these congregations, or must I go to the nearest congregation with connected rows, which may be far from me?
Answer:
That is better and more cautious for you: that you go to the connected rows and join them. And if that burdens you, or the time is tight and you fear missing the prayer, pray with them; there is no harm. Line up with them. Yes.
