Ask The Imam Question and Answer

402 I have seen in our mosque specially at Ramadan time whist Tharawi Namaz that people sit on the chairs on the far corner of the mosque , even though there is plenty (sometimes 2 rows empty) of spaces in front, for them all to move forward but still don’t. Late comers often have to walk past them to make some sort of row in front of them.

Please could you tell me if this invalidates the Namaz of the people on the chairs, and if the late comers are sinful for walking in front of them whilst the Namaz is in progress?
If the people on the chairs are able to move the chairs inline with the row then they must do that. The people that come late will not be sinful for walking in front of then if it is unavoidable. Allah (S.W.T) knows best.
