Question

Please explain the procedure of stepping forward to fill in a gap in the saff in front. Because beheshti zewar mentions to step past the sajdah position breaks the Salaah.

Answer

The simple way is that the people on the right and left come closer to each other and fill the gap.

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