The questioner:
I have three questions, if you permit, Honorable Shaykh. I ask you to clarify how to close the gaps in the rows of the praying congregation?
The presenter:
All right, the Shaykh will answer this in a moment.
The Shaykh:
Closing the gaps means standing close together in the rows, with the worshippers near one another so that no gap remains through which Satan can pass. That is its meaning; that is what closing the gaps means: that no gap remains through which Satan can pass. Yes.
