Rebuking the one who prays behind the row alone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If praying behind the row alone is a matter of scholarly disagreement, is it permissible to rebuke the one who prays behind the row?
Answer:
It is not a matter of disagreement, my brother, except in cases of dire necessity. Those who deemed it valid said it is for dire necessity: if he finds no place in the row and no one comes, then forming the row is obligatory, but it is dropped due to inability. Inability to form the row drops the obligation; that is their position. As for doing this when there is no dire necessity, it is not permissible according to everyone. Yes, so the issue is one of scholarly disagreement in this regard. Yes.
