The Ruling on Straightening the Rows in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: We see many of the people praying move forward or backward and do not pay attention to straightening the row in prayer. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
It is not permissible for them to do that. It is obligatory for them to look at the row, straighten it, and stand close together in it, and not leave any gaps for Shaytan, as mentioned in the hadith. So they must stand close together, block the gaps, and straighten the rows. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
