Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on the Imam saying this phrase when he is aligning the rows, namely “Stand straight,” given that I have heard some scholars say that this wording is not permissible and that it is not reported?
Answer:
How does he know that it is not reported? Does he follow the narrations and the hadiths? Or is it just that he does not know it? It is permissible for a person to object based on certainty and knowledge, meaning that it is not reported. Yes.
