Worshippers lining up in rows through standing shoulder to shoulder and foot to foot

536

A: It is a Sunnah (supererogatory act of worship following the example of the Prophet) that people offering Salah line up in rows through standing shoulder to shoulder and foot to foot. This is supported by many authentic Hadith reported to the same effect. For example, Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "We would stand feet to feet." It means that (Part No. 8; Page No. 15) they would close gaps and straighten rows. Accordingly, Muslims should advise each other to do so in such a manner as not to harm each other.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
