Does Sheikh Huthayfi still pray in the first row? May Allah make it easy for him. His removal was not because of his safety, that was a big lie. We all know he is suspended, probably a long suspension. Imagine how the Sheikh is feeling being deprived of leading in Masjid an-Nabawi. Especially when he has been leading almost everyday. By Allah, this has only increased my love for the Sheikh than before.
Now there are rumors of Sh.'Abd al-Muhsin al-'Abbad being arrested. I don't think it's true but I wouldn't be surprised.
