Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We ask you to give us guidance on straightening the rows and filling the gaps. Many people have neglected this recommended practice, or this obligation, and people have become indifferent to it.
Answer:
It is obligatory to fill the gaps, close the openings, and stand close together in prayer. Stand close together in prayer so that there is no gap between the worshippers through which Satan can pass. Be aware of this. The imam also encourages them to do this, checks on them, and looks over them before the takbir of ihram. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
