Trampling over people's necks on Friday is disliked (makrooh), except in cases where it is permissible without dislike: if the خطيب (preacher) cannot find a path to the minbar, or a person returns to their place after relieving themselves, or to advance to fill a gap, or when there is no place available to sit.
