The ruling on praying in the street when the mosque is full on Friday

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, the questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, if the mosque is full on Friday, is it permissible to pray in the street following the imam in the mosque?

Answer:
Yes, if the rows extend outside the mosque, there is no harm in praying, and the prayer is valid in this case due to the need and the congestion of the worshippers.
