Pressing the heels of the worshippers together in the row

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding pressing one's heels together when praying, and pressing them against the heels of the person next to me, what is the correct ruling on that?

Answer:
As for pressing your own heels together, there is a fear that you will fall, so spread your legs a little to a moderate degree so that there is no imbalance in your balance. As for the worshippers being close to one another, that is a required matter; packing tightly in the rows so that no gap remains is obligatory.
