Two people performing Salaah in jamaat
Question
When two people pray together, should the follower stand next to and parallel to the imam, or should he stand slightly behind? I have heard conflicting opinions regarding this.
Answer
Slightly behind the imaam.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
