Question:
It is a recommended practice. Does the mosque warrant sitting in the row?
Answer:
Yes, the right side of the rows is better; the right side of the rows is better. So if you get a place on the right side of the row, be in it, be in it; this is better, unless the right side of the row is far from the imam and the left side is closer to the imam, then be in the one closer to the imam. But if you get both closeness to the imam and the right side, that is better,Sunan Abi Dawud 676. Yes.
