The ruling on a worshipper entering the first row when the iqamah is called
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some people stand behind someone sitting in the first row before the iqamah, and when the iqamah is called, they enter between them for the prayer. What is your opinion on this?
Answer:
Yes, if there is space in the row, that is the basis. Tightening the rows is required. However, if the row is loose, one should not crowd the people. One should not crowd the people and say, "The first row is crowded," unless there is a gap and space available.
