Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Regarding this, Shaykh Salih, if a child passes in front of the one praying, or some of the domestic animals
The Shaykh:
The one praying should place a sutrah (barrier) and stand close to it, and it does not harm him if anyone passes behind it. So if he has a sutrah in front of him and stands close to it, no one passes in front of him. Yes.
The questioner:
Cats and animals, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Those that he has no power to drive away do not harm him. Yes.
