The ruling on the ma'mum praying to the right of the imam, outside the row
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And O Shaykh, is the prayer of the one who is carried valid if he is to the right of the imam in order to catch up with the recitation of Surat al-Baqarah, even if he is always like him in the row, or if the one being carried did not leave a space in the rows?
The Shaykh:
It is valid without doubt, but it is better for him to be with the row as long as there is a possibility; that is what is better. However, if he prays to the right of the imam, his prayer is valid, if Allah wills.
