Is stepping over necks specific to the Friday prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May the Shaykh please clarify stepping over necks: is it only in the congregation, or does this include sitting in the mosque, such as in this lecture and other lessons?
The Shaykh : Stepping over necks is not specific to the Friday prayer, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) attributed it to a cause that exists in the Friday prayer and others. He said: So if harm occurs, one steps over necks, whether in the Friday prayer or otherwise; it is forbidden, and one is told to sit in any place. And we, praise be to Allah, in our current era, find that those who are far away and those who are close are equal in hearing, as we have these devices that Allah has blessed us with, namely loudspeakers, which allow the one at the farthest part of the mosque and the one closest to the speaker to hear.
