ruling on a person who persists in praying in a specific spot and becomes angry if someone else occupies it



The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

Our Master the Prophet ﷺ forbade a man from habitually claiming a specific spot in the mosque as a camel claims its place (to sit); scholars consider this to be among the disliked matters (Makruhat). It is therefore obligatory to advise this individual that whoever arrives at a spot first has the most right to it. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
