The Ruling on Breaking the Rows in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Now, suppose that the row does not exceed the space between the two pillars. Is it disliked or not? Suppose that the row does not exceed the space between the two pillars, meaning that there are only three men, and when they stand between the pillars, they do not need more than this; that is sufficient.
The Shaykh : Where do you take this from the author's words?
The questioner : To Qatar.
The Shaykh : From his statement: If we break the rows, well, by what does the breaking of the rows occur?
The questioner : O Khalafah of the men, and O Khalafah of the men.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct. And some scholars say that this returns to custom.
