Placing the mushaf or keys as a sutrah for the one praying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, some people place a mushaf or place their keys when they are praying alone in prayer as a sutrah.
Answer:
A mushaf is not to be used as a sutrah. The sutrah is a pillar of the mosque, or a wall, or a tree if one is in the desert; there should be something standing in front of him to which he prays, but he does not lean against it or rely on it, nor does he align himself with it completely, but he turns slightly away from it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
