Muqtadi standing slightly behind the imaam when two people perform salaah together
Question
If there are only two people reading namaaz together, should they stand next to one another or should the person following stand at the foot of the imaam?
Answer
They should stand next to each other, but the muqtadi should be slightly behind.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
