The ruling on placing the foot against the foot when aligning the rows in prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it part of straightening the rows in prayer for the worshipper to place his foot against the foot of the person next to him?

Answer:
Yes, they must fill in the gaps. The Companions said:
One of us would place his foot against the foot of his companionكان أحدنا يلصق قدمه بقدم صاحبه
So the recommended practice is to place the foot against the foot so that no gap remains, but without causing harm; he should not harm his neighbor, but he should place his foot against his foot so that there is no space between them.

The presenter: May Allah preserve you.
