The ruling on pressing one’s feet together in congregational prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is pressing one’s feet together in congregational prayer part of the Sunnah? Knowing that when the congregation stands close together, people leave a gap between them, so if I press my foot against the person next to me, he moves it away from me.
Answer:
Yes, this is a practice that has appeared recently, where one person pushes his foot out, pushing it in the row and bothering the people next to him and us. This is not permissible if it involves forcing it, but one should bring himself close to the others, bringing oneself close to the others without pushing, so that there is no gap between them and no pushing that bothers people. Yes.
