Reply To: Davening a Long S"E

mord13 – Open up a Kav HaYoshor and see for yourself.

The Steipler Goan rebuked a man who davened long and kept people in front of him trapped as a result, and told that man to daven in the front of the shul. One who will daven a long S”E should preferably daven in the front of the shul, in order to avoid trapping people or causing them to sin when they step back into his four amos due to their ignorance (or by mistake).

However, one has the right to daven word-by-word, regardless of where he is standing.
