The imam’s sutrah is a sutrah for all the ma’mum

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is better, to be close to the imam without a sutrah, or to have a sutrah but be further away from the first position?

Answer:
My brother, if you are behind the imam, the imam’s sutrah is a sutrah for everyone. The ma’mum does not place a sutrah; the imam’s sutrah is sufficient. Even if you are at the far end of the mosque in the last row, you do not need a sutrah, because the imam’s sutrah is sufficient for everyone. Yes.
