Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Is the one who prays sinful if he leaves the person passing in front of him without stopping him, and this is in the Prophet’s Mosque?

Answer:
If he leaves the person to pass in front of him in the Prophet’s Mosque, or in the Sacred Mosque, or in crowded mosques like the large congregational mosques, this is due to dire necessity, because people must pass through these places, and a person cannot prevent people from doing so. However, if he is in a place that is not crowded, he prevents the person from passing in front of him, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. If the person refuses, he has the right to fight him, meaning he has the right to push him forcefully. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said that the person is with his companion, meaning Satan. It is obligatory for him to prevent the person from passing in front of him if he is able to do so, and the place is not in a state of necessary crowding and necessary passage. Yes.
