The ruling on praying behind a road if the rows are separated
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We ask Allah to prolong your life, O Shaykh. If the rows are separated, may Allah bless you, O Shaykh, by a road or something like it in some of the mosques, O Shaykh, where it is crowded, so they pray behind the road, meaning a road separates them.
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in some of the congregation, if they can see each other’s rows, there is no harm, do you see? Pray upon the Prophet.
