Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In some mosques, they leave the space between the pillars without carpeting, and they leave a space of one foot’s width on all sides of the mosque in every row so that a person can pass through. He asks: Is this action permissible?
Answer:
Yes, this is for the need of pathways. They make pathways for those entering, and they do not come in front of the praying people. This is a good thing.
