Reward for performing salaah in the first saff
Question
Some masaajid have a two-storey building. Is the reward for praying in the first row of the second floor equal to that of praying in the first row of the first floor?
Answer
No. The first row in the upper level will only commence after the bottom level is full. Hence, the first row in the upper level will be like the saff after the last saff of the bottom floor.
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.
