Is it permissible for one to pass in front of the children's saffs (row)?
Question
I would like to ask you a Masala: Are you allowed to pass in front of the children's saffs (row), in the masjid?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is permissible to pass in front of the children’s row during congregational salah only if one does so to fill in a space in the front. [1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
