Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, the Shaykh, may Allah pardon you: It was reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the virtue of going to the Friday prayer that one should not separate two people. What is the intent, O Shaykh, of this separation?
The Shaykh : Among the legal etiquettes brought by the Shari'ah is that a person should not separate two people, meaning: he should not find two people in a row and separate them to sit between them, because this is a degradation of them and a restriction upon them. However, if he finds a gap between two people, there is no harm in entering it, because these two are the ones who neglected this gap.
