Should we place the boys in a single row even if the first row is not complete?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Should we place the boys in a separate row now, even if the first row is not complete?
The Shaykh : This is not possible. The matter is confused for you right now. I say: if there is a wide mosque, especially in the Fajr prayer or the 'Isha' prayer—this prayer and that one, which is the heaviest prayer for the hypocrites—and the first row is usually not completed, and some boys come and line up in the first row, we do not delay them, because in this case they do not remove the men from their position, which is the first row. But if there are rows, they are delayed. This was and still is my opinion.
