The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. If a need arises for a student of knowledge or a worshipper on Friday, for example, if he needs to go to the restroom, does this mean stepping over people’s backs? And is it permissible?
The Shaykh : This is a need; it is a need. However, if he wants to pass through to his place, he should gently nudge the people and say, “Allow me to pass,” or something similar, so that hearts may be pleased. Because if he just walks through, some people might be offended. Yes.
