Question:
Does the ruling for the imam prohibit him from turning to the right or the left?
Answer:
It is the Sunnah for the imam to turn to his right and left, to urge them to establish the rows and fill in the gaps, and to complete the first row, then the next, until the shortage is in the last row. He should alert the people and not be negligent, so that the people become aware of the Sunnah practice.
