Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abdullah ibn Yusuf narrated to us, saying: Malik informed us from Nafi' from Abdullah ibn 'Umar Mishkat al-Masabih 691
The Shaykh : He said: He placed?
The reciter: Yes, O Shaykh. He said:Sahih al-Bukhari 505 And Isma'il said to us: Malik told me, and he said: . Shall we continue, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : And al-Bukhari's (may Allah have mercy on him) statement "in other than congregation", as for in congregation, one does not pray between the pillars except out of necessity, if the row is longer than the space between the two pillars. If it is shorter than the space between the two pillars, there is no harm. Likewise, if there is a necessity, such as the mosque being narrow. The conclusion is that praying between the pillars, if it is for one praying alone, there is no harm with it. If it is in a congregation where their row does not exceed the space between the two pillars, there is no harm with it. If it is in a congregation where the row exceeds the space between the two pillars, it is disliked, except if it is out of necessity. It is disliked in this case because the pillar separates the row and cuts it off, so it was disliked, to the extent that the Companions would strike against it.
God's Messenger entered the Ka'ba with Usama b. Zaid, ‘Uthman b. Talha al-Hajabi, and Bilal b. Rabah, and locking it behind him, he remained inside. I asked Bilal when he came out what God's Messenger had done, and he said, “He took up a position with one pillar on his left, two on his right, and three behind him
أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم دخل الكعبة وأسامة بن زيد وبلال وعثمان بن طلحة الحجبي فأغلقها عليه ومكث فيها فسألت بلالا حين خرج ما صنع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : جعل عموداً عن يساره وعموداً عن يمينه وثلاثة أعمدة وراءهThe Shaykh : He said: He placed?
The reciter: Yes, O Shaykh. He said:
He offered prayer with one pillar to his left and one to his right and three behind.' In those days the Ka`ba was supported by six pillars.
جعل عموداً عن يساره وعموداً عن يمينه وثلاثة أعمدة وراءه وكان البيت يومئذ على ستة أعمدة ثم صلىTwo pillars to his right.
عمودين عن يمينهThe Shaykh : And al-Bukhari's (may Allah have mercy on him) statement "in other than congregation", as for in congregation, one does not pray between the pillars except out of necessity, if the row is longer than the space between the two pillars. If it is shorter than the space between the two pillars, there is no harm. Likewise, if there is a necessity, such as the mosque being narrow. The conclusion is that praying between the pillars, if it is for one praying alone, there is no harm with it. If it is in a congregation where their row does not exceed the space between the two pillars, there is no harm with it.
