How the Praying Person Combines Praying Behind a Barrier with Praying in the First Row
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man entered the mosque before the iqamah and wanted to pray the greeting of the mosque behind a barrier, knowing that if he prayed behind the barrier, he would miss the first row. Should he pray behind the barrier, or should he pray in the first row?
If he would miss the first row, let him move forward to the first row, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): (If the people knew what is in the call to prayer and the first row, and they could not obtain it except by drawing lots, they would draw lots for it),Let him move forward to the first row, and the barrier is a light matter: (When one of you prays, let him place a barrier, even if it is an arrow) A person can place his miswak and use it as a barrier.
