The ruling on stepping over people's necks in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, we conclude this session with a question from our brother Abu 'Adil. He says: In the mosques on Friday, we see some people stepping over people's necks and coming from the back until they reach the first row. What is the role of the preacher in this? And what is the ruling on stepping over people's necks?
Answer:
If the preacher has no way to reach the pulpit except by stepping over people's necks, there is nothing wrong with it. But if he has a path to enter the pulpit, it is not permissible for him to step over people's necks. As for others, they do not step over people's necks unless they see a gap that has not been filled, in which case they go to it, because it is they who erred by not filling that gap. Yes.
