· 29 Jumada II 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

1. How many saffs (rows) can we cross while in the state of namaaz in order to fill the front saffs (rows)?

2. How much can we move horizontally in the same saff (row) in order to fill the gap?

Answer

In the state of namaaz if one moves more than three steps at once then the namaaz will break.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
