Question
The Imam of our mosque, after the Asr and Fajr prayers, turns from the Qibla and sits back towards the worshipers. In this case, if a monthbook is in front of him, he does not want to sit in front of him no matter how far he is; Rather turn a little to the right or left. When the monthbook prayer is over, he sits up straight. The question is, if there are a few Qatari worshipers between Imam Sahib and Masbook who have finished their prayers, can't they sit face to face despite the gap? 2789822142
Answer

If there is a third person hidden between the Imam and the Masbook, it is permissible for the Imam to sit facing the Masbook at the end of the prayer. However, in this case too, it is better not to sit face to face. And if there is no cover, it is makrooh to sit facing the person who is away from the book or the person who is praying. 8198815589
