The fourteenth question of the fatwa number ( 4172 )
Q14: Whatis the ruling on leaving gaps between the rows of worshippers and separating the shoulders and feet of some from others?
A14: It is obligatory to straighten the rows and align the shoulders and ankles, and it is not permissible to leave a gap between the individuals of the same row. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
