Praying in the Courtyard of the Tawaf and in the First Row During Crowds
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: The Tawaf area, or the entire Tawaf area, is open these days, and people will pray near the Ka'bah in the first row. He says: On Friday, a Muslim strives to be in the first row, but because of the intense heat, and because he may inconvenience the people performing Tawaf and cause them harm, what should the one who strives for the first row do? And how does he weigh this against that?
Answer:
He should not put himself through hardship by exposing himself to the sun or to the crowd. He should be in a comfortable place, because that is more conducive to humility and tranquility.
