Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This brother, the questioner, has a set of questions, starting with the question about the ruling on the sutrah and what its size is for the one praying?
Answer:
The sutrah is a recommended practice (sunnah). The sutrah in prayer is for the imam and the one praying alone. The sutrah is prescribed for the imam and the one praying alone, whereas for the one praying behind the imam, his imam’s sutrah serves as his sutrah. Its size is the length of a hand-span (shibr), or more, or less. The important thing is that there be something in front of him the size of the back of a saddle, serving as a barrier for him from passersby. This is what is recommended. Yes.
