The ruling on the crowding caused by those who sit near the speakers in the rows
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Thank you. One of the brothers has a point of view. He says that the brothers who sit near the speakers and distribute themselves in the rows after the iqamah cause severe crowding for others, and this happens in every gathering. If you see them, it is better and preferable to arrange them in their places so that they do not crowd others, and everyone will be relieved from the crowding.
Answer:
It is obligatory for them to move to the back of the rows, and not to crowd the first, or the second, or the third, or the fourth. It is obligatory for the one who is near the circle or the gathering to stand up when the gathering ends, and to go behind the people, and to be in the last rows. This is what is obligatory for him so that he does not crowd anyone, and does not harm anyone. This is wrong, and forbidden. It is not permissible to harm any of the people. He prays and harms the Muslims. This is not permissible. He must move and go to the back of the rows. And if he sits there, he will hear, and praise be to Allah, the loudspeakers allow people to hear. But if it is absolutely necessary, then when the pleasure ends, he goes there and stays back with the rows. Yes.
