The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible to make a line on the ground a sutrah?

The Shaykh:
This is mentioned in the hadith:
did not find anythingإذا لم يجد شيئا
Sahih Muslim 1998c, 1999a
He places it or sets it in front of him, so he draws a line. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,

The questioner:
And in his other question, he asks: What is the width of the sutrah?

It has no width. A stick can be a sutrah, a tent peg can be a sutrah; it has no width. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
The discussion is about its length; it is recommended that its length be the length of the back of the saddle. Yes.
