Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Regarding the right sides of the rows, is there any evidence of their being preferred, and what is the wisdom behind that?
Answer:
Yes, it is reported that the right side of the row is better, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Abi Dawud 676 unless the right side is farther from the imam and the left side is closer to the imam, in which case the left is better. If being on the right and being close to the imam coincide, then that is better. However, if the person on the left is closer to the imam, he is better than the person on the right who is far from the imam. Yes.
