Question

There is a rule in Bahishti Zewar that it is makrooh to stand alone in a row. The person should pull a person back from the row before him. What happens to the gap formed by the exiting of the said muqtadi to fill the previous row?

If a Muqtadis wudhu breaks during prayer, should he just leave and leave a gap in the saff? What should he do in this regard?

Answer

The two musallees on either side can come slightly closer and fill in the gap.

He should just leave.

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