The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned placing shoulder to shoulder and heel to heel. He says: But we do not see but a few who do that. Is this among the abandoned sunnahs?
The Shaykh:
Teach them, inform them of this, explain this to them. You are the ones who are falling short; you have not explained this to them. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says.
The Shaykh:
It was the duty of the imam, and the obligation upon the imam was that he should take care of this and train his congregation in it until they become accustomed to it. Yes.
