Ruling on omitting the tawruk in the tashahhud when the rows are crowded
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What about the tawruk for the ma'mum in a crowded row?
Answer:
If the need calls for standing close together and not performing the tawruk, he does not perform the tawruk. The tawruk is a recommended practice (sunnah), a recommended act (mustahabb) in the final tashahhud. So, if he harms his brothers by doing it, he does not perform the tawruk. He sits on his left leg, as he does between the two prostrations in the first tashahhud. This is because harming his brothers is forbidden, and one does not make a forbidden act permissible by means of a recommended act. He leaves the recommended act so that he avoids the forbidden act. Therefore, harming his brothers and encroaching upon them is not permissible. If there is crowding in the row, he does not perform the tawruk, but rather sits on his left leg, as he does between the two prostrations, if he is able to do so. As for if he is sick or unable to do so, he does what he is able to do and avoids causing harm as much as he can. Yes.
