Darulifta Ahlesunnat
(Dawateislami)
Question
What do the scholars
of Islam say regarding the following matter: how should a piece of wood that
measures one yard and is thicker than a finger be placed in front of people
offering Salah so that it becomes permissible to walk in front of them? Should
it be placed upright in front of those offering Salah, or should it be placed
flat when it is possible to place it upright?
بِسْمِ اللہِ
الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ
الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
According to Shari’ah, a piece of wood that is
equal to the length one arm [from the fingers to the elbow]and has the
thickness of one finger can be used as a Sutrah
(barrier).To form a barrier which will allow people to walk in front of someone
praying Salah, it will need to be placed upright or fixed into the ground; placing
it flat will not render it a barrier that makes it permissible for people to
walk in front of those praying Salah.
