The Ruling on Advancing Before the Imam Due to Crowding

Question
Is it permissible to advance before the imam in the Friday prayer due to crowding?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: it is not permissible to advance, and it invalidates the prayer, but it is known among the Malikis that it is permissible, and it can be benefited from if there is a necessity, and God knows best.
