Is it permissible to rebuke the one who prays at the Maqam during the crowd?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some of the circumambulators rebuke the one who stands to pray at the Maqam when the Tawaf becomes crowded. Is this rebuke permissible?

Answer:
Yes, if praying at the Maqam results in harm to the circumambulators, the circumambulator takes precedence over the one praying. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:
and purify My House for those who perform Tawaf and those who stand [in prayer] and those who bow and prostrate.وَطَهِّرْ بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْقَائِمِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ
[Al-Hajj 22:26]
. So give the circumambulators precedence. If it involves harm to the circumambulators, it is not permissible for him to pray at the Maqam; he should go and pray in another place. Yes.
