Question
In my synagogue, there are stairs leading to the upper floor. Sometimes there is no room to stand inside the synagogue, and people stand and pray on the stairs. Is this allowed?
Answer
On the first step, if it is less than three tefachim high, it is permitted, and also if there is a large step measuring four by four tefachim, it is permitted. Otherwise, it is forbidden.
