Placing a line or rope in the mosque to straighten the rows

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A line is placed in the mosque to straighten the people’s rows in prayer, by putting a color on the ground or a rope or something else. Is this a prescribed matter?

Answer:
This is an unnecessary burden. This is an unnecessary burden. Straightening the rows is done by aligning the shoulders and heels, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. There is no need for a line or a rope or anything else. Yes.
