What is the ruling on one who moves up to the first row when two people had already moved up before him, and he passed them?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, they are competing for the first row, and the first row has space for only one person.
The Shaykh : They are competing? How are they competing?
The questioner : Each one is pushing the other forward, but no one moves up. I got between them and moved up, so they felt something against me in their hearts. Is there any sin on me?
The Shaykh : They are excused if they feel something against you in their hearts, because they have more right to the place than you do now, since they moved up to it first. However, if one says "move up" and the other says "you move up," unless your intention was to resolve the dispute, then I do not know. In any case, leave it. There is no doubt that if this had happened to me and my companion, I would have felt something against you.
Yes, indeed, did we take three?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
