Moving up from the second row to fill a gap in the first
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If there is a gap in the first row, and I am in the second row, and I have already said the opening takbir, should I move forward to the first row?
Answer:
If this gap is not filled, there is no harm in moving forward while you are in prayer to fill it, because it is permissible. It will be mentioned that it is permissible to take small steps in prayer, moving forward or backward, ascending the pulpit as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, and the like. Small actions, such as opening a door, or small actions for a valid purpose, are permissible.
