Question:
What is the ruling on drawing lines on the ground to serve as a sutrah for the one praying, O Shaykh? Drawing lines on the ground

Answer:
It is not forbidden in an absolute sense. Rather, if the intention behind drawing on the ground is to seek knowledge of the unseen or to report on hidden matters, that is what is blameworthy. As for drawing on the ground for a correct and beneficial purpose, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
