If one leaves the row, should he be moved until he enters the row and straightens it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Sometimes a person is tested with people who pray beside him, and it is difficult to align perfectly with them. Should he delay by the width of five fingers to achieve perfect alignment? And if a person is convinced that this individual dislikes being moved, should he move him, even if something happens?
The Shaykh : No, do not move him. If he moves away from me, I pull him back.
The questioner : A slight difference.
The Shaykh : Even if he does, and if you see that he dislikes it, then when you finish the prayer, say: "This is part of the completion of the prayer, part of the completion of my prayer and your prayer."
The questioner : This is a trial that many are facing now, with shaving the beard and smoking...
The Shaykh : Do not move from one topic to another. The discussion now is about the issue of aligning the rows. The one who disrupts the alignment of the rows harms you and himself, because straightening the rows is part of the completion of the prayer for everyone. But the one who smokes, shaves his beard, or lets his garment hang below the ankles, his harm is upon himself.
The questioner : ... In every rak'ah he moves away, advances, and retreats, and this is common among people...
The Shaykh : If you fear that your prayer will become invalid due to excessive movement, leave him alone. But as long as the matter allows for slight movement, perfect the straightening of the row. Yes.
The Shaykh : No, do not move him. If he moves away from me, I pull him back.
The questioner : A slight difference.
The Shaykh : Even if he does, and if you see that he dislikes it, then when you finish the prayer, say: "This is part of the completion of the prayer, part of the completion of my prayer and your prayer."
