In Counter Strike can I shoot through a team member if friendly fire is on/off

If there is a friendly between me and an enemy can I shoot through my team mate or must I move to a new line of fire? I'd also like to know if having the friendly fire option on or off will makes any difference.

If friendly fire is on you can shoot through your teammate and damage the enemy, but the damage to the enemy is minimal. Your teammate will take full damage. If friendly fire is off your bullets hit your teammate and do nothing to the enemy.

It's generally a good idea to always move to a new line of fire and never stand right behind your teammate, but a bit to the side. It also helps if your teammate ducks during a firefight so you can shoot over him if you have to.
