The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, urged the leveling of rows, filling gaps, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder, explaining that this is part of the perfection of prayer, and he warned against contradicting it. If there is a break in the rows due to the presence of pillars or pulpit steps, and it is not possible to avoid this because of the mosque's narrowness, then there is no blame in that, God Almighty willing, due to the Almighty’s saying: (So fear Allah as much as you are able).
