The Ruling on the Positions of the Ma'mum in Congregational Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I came to pray an obligatory prayer and found the imam with one ma'mum in the position of ruku'. Should I pull the ma'mum back so that I am beside him and we are behind the imam, or should I bow beside them so that we are three in a row, and then after rising we return to the back, or should the imam move forward?
Answer:
All of this is permissible, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
