Being distracted in prayer due to the excessive movement of the worshippers in front of me or beside me; what is the ruling?

Question:
He says: In the congregational prayer, I notice some of the worshippers move a lot, whether they are in front of me or beside me. This makes me close my eyes during the prayer because I am bothered by it. What should I do? May Allah reward you with good. And is my prayer valid?

Answer:
Movement in prayer is not permissible except out of necessity, and on the condition that it be slight, to the extent of the need. As for movement for the sake of play, or excessive movement in prayer without need, this is not permissible; indeed, it may invalidate the prayer if it is excessive and continuous and not for a need, because what is required in prayer is humility. He, the Exalted, said: Humility is the submission of the heart, and it is followed by the stillness of the limbs and the absence of movement. When some of the Salaf saw a man moving a lot in his prayer, he said, "If this man's heart were humble, his limbs would be still." This is also narrated as traced back to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The conclusion is that movement in prayer is not permissible except for a need. As for movement without a need, it indicates a lack of khushu', and it may invalidate the prayer if it is excessive, continuous, and without a need, as the scholars have explicitly stated. If the movements are slight and without a need, they are disliked (makruh). It is disliked to do this in prayer. However, if the movements are for a need, there is no harm in them; this is permissible to the extent of the need. Good.
As for the one who sees a person moving a lot in his prayer, closing the eyes is not a solution to the problem. Rather, he must advise him. He must advise him and explain to him that movement in prayer without a need is not permissible, and it is either forbidden (haram) or disliked (makruh). The obligatory thing is to give advice and teach people this matter. This is a result of ignorance. We seek help from Allah.
Because most people pray by taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence) and do not learn the rulings of prayer. Most people do not learn the rulings of prayer, so they do not know its conditions, pillars, or obligations. They do not know what invalidates it, what is disliked in it, or what is forbidden in it regarding actions and words. They do not learn the rulings of their prayer. This is negligence on the part of people and a shortcoming on the part of the scholars and students of knowledge. It is obligatory for a person to learn the rulings of his religion and what his religion cannot be established without. It is obligatory for the scholars and students of knowledge to make the people understand and teach them, and not to leave them living in ignorance and in taqlid without knowledge of their acts of worship. This is a great danger. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may Allah reward you.
