Touching our ankles is only a means
so that shaff will be straight and tight.
It is a means so that the shaff
will be tight and straight.
If the ankles don't stick,
but our shoulders touch each other...
It's enough because it means
that we make no space.
Some people are mistaken, for them, as long as
the ankles touch each other.
So, he spread his legs widely.
Not standing naturally,
just to touch other people's feet.
So, he spread his legs too wide.
That is not the purpose.
The purpose of touching the ankles
and shoulders is to have a tight shaff.
Therefore, some scholars such as..
...Shaikh Huzaimi and others...
...believes when the shoulders touch
each other at the beginning of the prayer...
...they don't need to be like this
all the time.
Because the purpose has been reached.
No need to touch each other all the time.
It is alright if you do it.
But don't overdo it.
Sometimes people touch others' feet
that they trample them.
That is true. I often get myself trampled.
So...
Perhaps not stepped on like this,
but it is my foot skin.
Especially on the tiled floor (not carpeted).
While the one who step on it
don't realize it.
I pull my foot, and he insists stepping on it.
What can you do?
That is the reality.
It's difficult.
We take it easy.
Don't over do it, because...
...we are asked to concentrate.
If we do that, we disturb
our brothers' concentration.
We disturb our brothers' concentration.
So, do it normally.
And if the shaff is straight, and the person
beside us don't want to have his feet touched, leave him.
The important thing is it is tight and straight.
That is the purpose.
Because touching ankles...
...is not the purpose but the means...
The means to be straight and tight.
To be straight and tight.
