Closing the Rows in Congregational Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And my brother is asking, because regarding the Maghrib prayer, my brother is not asking; he says: You.

Another questioner:
The row was broken, may you live long. The row in the Maghrib prayer was broken; everyone comes on their own.

The Shaykh:
It is not merely that it is recommended; it is obligatory to close the rows. It is obligatory to close the rows.

Another questioner:
For all the issues.

The Shaykh:
So that when the first row is complete, one proceeds to the second, and so on. It is obligatory to advise regarding this first row, then the second, and not to break the rows. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever closes a row, Allah closes it for him, and whoever breaks a row, Allah breaks it for him." We ask Allah for safety. He also commanded filling the gaps. Therefore, it is obligatory to pay attention to these matters and to cooperate. The imam, the mu'adhdhin, and the congregation should cooperate in alerting people so that they fill the gaps. This is sufficient. May Allah guide them all.
