The ruling on pressing shoulders together in the rows
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the statement of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), "And one of us would press his shoulder against his companion's shoulder and his foot against his foot," is the intended meaning actual pressing together, or is the intended meaning closeness?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the intended meaning is actual pressing together; there should be no gap between them. This person is next to that person with no gap between them, even a small one. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are women addressed by this?
The Shaykh:
It is not about skin touching skin. The point is that there should be no gap between them, even a small one. Yes.
