Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on praying in the mihrab?
Answer:
If the mosque is narrow and he prays in the mihrab, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if the mosque is spacious, it is disliked for him to pray in the mihrab, because it hides from the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam) what they should see. But if there is narrowness, there is no harm. Yes.
