Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. As you noticed, Shaykh Salih, the questioner is a woman who, of course, is praying in her home. Do you advise her of anything specific, such as using a wall as her barrier or something similar?

Answer:
Yes, she should pray facing a barrier, because this is further from sin and annoyance. She should pray facing a barrier. The barrier is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah muakkadah).
