Reserving a place for another person in the row of a congregation

Question

Is it permissible to reserve a place for another person in the row of a congregation? (It means that we place a turbah for another person and don’t let other people to sit there) Or is the criterion piety or earlier arrival?

Ayatullah Nasir Makarem Shirazi · Accepted Answer

There is no issue with doing this, but if that person doesn’t join the congregation before rukū‘ of the first rak‘at then his/her right is voided.
