The ruling on a man coming to the mosque late and pushing his way into the first row
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some people come late to the prayer, then enter the first row and bother those who are in it. He cites the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Mujadila 58:11] Is his action and his citation correct?
Answer:
No. If he desires the good of the first row, he should advance and announce his arrival. But if he sits in his house or anywhere else and then comes and bothers the people, that is wrong. As for the one who has a desire for the good and loves the first row, should he advance? Yes. Otherwise, he should sit in a place where there is no crowding.

O you who have believed, when you are told, "Space yourselves" in assemblies, then make space; Allah will make space for you.
