Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does one who prays in a private room aligned with the first row receive the reward of the first row?
The Shaykh : No, no, that is not valid. That is, he asks: if he lines up opposite the first row in the private room below, or in the row above, does he get the reward of the first row? The answer is no, he does not get it, because the second, third, fourth, and fifth rows, and any row in a position better than the imam’s, are not considered. Do we see the translation?
The reader: What?
The Shaykh : In al-Fath.
