How the imam and the ma'mum align when there are two
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Many people say: If two people pray, and one is beside the other, the one beside him must stand back, is that right?
Answer:
No, they align. The ma'mum aligns with the imam if there are two, but if there are three, it is better for two to stand back.
Q: They cite the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): and is this alignment?
A: No, no, it has no basis, no, you align with him, who said you do not align with him? It is not a hadith.
Q: ... the imam in prostration and bowing?
A: Getting ahead, yes, but do not align, no, there is no, do not align.
