Pulling Someone Closer to You in Prayer if There is a Gap


 

Questioner: If I’m in the mosque and my brother is praying behind me or next to me, but he’s a bit distant from me, is it correct for me to pull him?

Al-Albaani: Pull him to where?

Questioner: He’s praying to my right but is very distant from me.

Al-Albaani: Yes, it is allowed.
