Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a group of people missed the congregational prayer in the Prophet’s Mosque. Is it better for them to pray in the first row or in the Raudah?
Answer:
The first row is behind the imam, and the imam is gone; there is no imam. So they pray behind their own imam, whether in the back of the mosque, the middle, or the front. They pray in whatever place is convenient for them, and the virtue is tied to their imam.
