Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : But is it permissible for him to delegate to some of the congregation to help him straighten the rows?
The Shaykh : Yes, he may do so, because it is established from 'Umar and 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them both) that they delegated someone to straighten the rows, especially when the congregation is large, such as in the Friday prayer or similar.
The questioner : Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the end of this session, in which we reviewed several questions regarding prayer sent by a group from a mosque in Riyadh, on behalf of whom was Abdullah ibn Abdulaziz Al Abdullah.
Thank you to this group, on behalf of whom was Abdullah ibn Abdulaziz Al Abdullah, and thank you to His Eminence Shaykh Muhammad al-Salih al-Uthaymeen, professor at Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University in Qassim, and imam and khatib of the Grand Mosque in Unayzah. May we meet you again, if Allah wills, in a future session. We entrust you to Allah, and peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
