The ruling on praying between pillars if it breaks the row

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to pray between pillars if it breaks the row?

Answer:
In case of need, the prayer is valid. However, the jurists say that it is disliked to stand between pillars if it breaks the rows, provided there is space. If the mosque is narrow and there is no other place, there is no harm in doing so without it being disliked. If this is due to the narrowness of the mosque, it is permissible without being disliked. But if this is done while the mosque is spacious, it is permissible but disliked. In any case, the prayer is valid, if Allah wills.
