The questioner : If you find two people at the end of the row, should you line up with them, stand in the middle of the row, or pull them to the middle of the row?
The Shaykh : It is prescribed to start the row from behind the imam, because the closer a person is to the imam, the better it is. So if we find two people at the ends of the rows, we pull them to the middle of the row so that they are closer to the imam. It is well known that if you find two people at the end of the row and the middle of the row is empty, if you stand in the middle of the row, you will be alone because of the long distance between you and the two. But pull them to the middle of the row and line up all together. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Then, in fact, I am amazed at these two men who stood at the side of the row. What drives them to do this? Is it weakness and laziness because the end of the row is near the mosque door, or what? If it is the former, then Glorified and Exalted is He, they come from their homes to the mosque and are unable to take a few steps to reach the middle of the row! This is nothing but the weakening of Satan for the children of Adam so that they do not do what is more complete. Yes.
