Sometimes a gap remains in the first row, and the people in the first row want to close it, but someone from the back rows moves forward and holds people back with his hand so that he can move forward. Is this permissible?

The questioner : Noble Shaykh, if the prayer is established and the worshippers begin to straighten up for prayer, for example, the front row: those to the imam's right move to their left to the empty space, and those to his left move to their right. Here, some of those in the back rows enter to close the gaps, which the people in the front row themselves were trying to close. Perhaps this person entering the front row holds back the people in the front row with his hand to enter between them. Should this person who is being held back let him take the empty space from him and remain in the inferior place, while Allah says: ?

The Shaykh : Yes, Allah has spoken the truth, and we hear and obey Allah. Did you hear the question? It says: Sometimes there is a gap in the first row... in the middle, so the people draw close to one another. In this situation, a person from the second row comes and holds with his hand the one who wants to draw close, then he enters... We say: This is not permissible. This is aggression upon the right of another. Yes, if we suppose that he stood still and did not draw close, or looked at you wanting you to close the gap, then there is no harm; he has dropped his right. But if he is ready to draw close, and you come and prevent him and enter this place, then this is not permissible, because it is aggression upon the right of your brother, and because it breeds enmity and hatred.
As for the noble verse, competition is not aggression upon another. Competition is that you compete with another in a right in which you do not harm him. Yes.
