Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Bulugh al-Maram 2:327, is it permissible for him to pull someone from the row in front of him?
Answer:
No, one does not pull anyone, but one should alert them; there is no harm in alerting them with words. As for pulling, it is not permissible, because the one being pulled may not be pleased. You take him from the first row and he misses out on the virtue. But if you alert him and he moves back, there is no harm. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
