Question :
As-Salamu'alaykum. I have a question about the hadith that states we should not pray between two pillars, because it can cut the saff (line) of jama'ah (congregation). Can you explain to me this hadith status? How wide is the measure between them? Is it enough for one person only or more persons? Jazakumullah khairan.
Answer: (Sheikh Mohamed El-Moctar El-Shinqiti )
Wa`alykum As-Salaamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger. Some scholars disliked performing prayer between the two pillars based on some reports narrated in this regard, while other scholars said it is allowed, quoting the hadith that when the Prophet, peace be upon him, entered the ka'bah he prayed between two posts. A third group of scholars tried to bring harmony between the several reports on the issue and stated that it is allowed to pray between the two pillars if the person is praying individually but not in jama'ah. Therefore, it is recommended not to pray between the two pillars unless the person is praying alone or if the mosque is tight and there is a crowd.
Allah Almighty knows best.
