Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it valid to stand to the left of the imam?
The Shaykh : A matter we have taken. Yes, did you understand? Is it valid to stand to the left of the imam?
The questioner : He says, "Yuba, it is reasonable; his right side is not valid. And it is correct."
The Shaykh : That is, if we say it is valid to stand to the left of the imam absolutely.
The questioner : Its meaning.
The Shaykh : Yes, so the answer involves a distinction: if there is someone to his right, it is valid; and if there is no one to his right, it is not valid, according to what the author followed. It was also said that it is valid. Yes.
