Moving the Imaam's musalla away from the mihraab
Question
1. What are the conditions for moving the Imaam’s musalla many saffs back and away from the mihraab when the number of people is less? I see this practiced in some Masaajid and not others.
2. What is the status of doing so in a Jamaat Khana?
Answer
1. The main thing is that the imaam's position must be central.
2. There is no problem in that.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
