What is the ruling on latecomers pushing their way into the front row for prayer?

Question:
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Shaykh, yes. May Allah forgive you. Many of the brothers, may Allah guide us, come late before the 'Isha' prayer is established, and when the prayer begins, they claim the front row, so much so that some of those already in the front row prefer the other rows.

Answer:
This is not permissible. It is obligatory for the Muslim, when he arrives, to line up in the row that follows, the one that is convenient for him, and not to push people and harm them; he should not harm them. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says, and Allah knows best, that idols and sin, it was said. Idols, except when someone leaves, he moves forward or stands between them until a space opens for him, and he enters.
