Saying “Stand up in rows” in a language other than Arabic for those who do not know it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We are in a non-Arab country, and the people do not know the Arabic language. Is it permissible for us to say to them “Stand up in rows” in the foreign language, in the language they know, or is it necessary to use this Arabic phrase?

Answer:
No, if most of them do not know Arabic, you say to them “Stand up in rows” in your language and their language that they understand. There is no harm in that. Yes.
