The questioner:
If it becomes narrow for the men, O Shaykh, does the imam line up on the right or on the left, or on the right only?
The Shaykh:
If it is narrow on his right and left, on his right and left, yes.
The questioner:
Does he stand in the middle and the imam does not stand there?
The Shaykh:
If the need calls for it, yes.
