Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
If it is considered an injustice to others, then it is forbidden.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
If the person we want to skip has a right to their turn, such as if they have paid money and received a ticket that specifies their turn, then it is not permissible to infringe upon their right. However, if it is merely a matter of arriving before them, it is not forbidden. Nevertheless, it is not appropriate for a believer to act in such a manner.
