Is the feeling of distress and lack of khushu' (devotional humility) in prayer, due to the excessive movement of some worshippers, considered بغضًا (hatred) and كرهًا (aversion) towards them, and is it permissible to avoid praying next to them?

The discomfort caused by the excessive movement of worshippers does not count as hatred towards them, but one should not exaggerate it so that it does not lead to detesting them. Believers deserve love and loyalty, and it is permissible to advise and teach them that excessive movement may invalidate the prayer and contradict a state of devotion (khushu').
