The ruling on using phrases in straightening the rows that are not found in the Sunnah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: Is it permissible to say: "Straighten your feet in obedience to the Most Merciful," or "Straighten your feet in obedience to the Judge," before the iqamah for the prayer?
Answer:
This has no basis; there is no basis for this statement. Rather, one should say: "Straighten up," "Stand in a straight line," "Align your feet," and "Align your shoulders," as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. This is the Sunnah with these phrases: "Straighten up," "Close the ranks," "Stand in a straight line," "Align your shoulders," and "Align your feet." There is no harm in this, yes, using the phrases of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
