If you enter the mosque and find two people praying, do you bring the imam forward or pull the ma'mum forward?

The questioner : If you enter the mosque and find two people praying, do you bring the imam forward or pull the ma'mum forward?

The Shaykh : Bring the imam forward, then pray. If you wish, you may pull the ma'mum forward and then pray. This depends on the space; the place may be spacious or narrow. It may be spacious on the imam's side, in which case you push the imam forward. It may be spacious on the ma'mum's side, in which case you pull the ma'mum forward.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
