If he is in the mosque and places something in a forward position in the row, while he is at the back of the mosque resting or leaning or doing something else, there is no harm, because he is present. However, if he guards his place and goes out for his needs, his buying and selling, his eating and drinking, and then returns to the reserved place, that is not permissible. Yes.
