Is there a limit to the number of steps a worshipper takes to fill a gap in the row?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Well, there is no limit to the number of steps a worshipper takes.
The Shaykh : It is what causes the worshipper, in the eyes of someone not praying, to appear as if he is not praying.
The questioner : For example, can we estimate it by how many? Five steps, six steps?
The Shaykh : I cannot tell you, for example, because the situation varies. What did we say? You take one step and stop, then after a while you take a second step. It is not like someone who walks continuously, especially if he walks with a military march.
Another questioner : Then, do you choose the last person to pray behind?!
