The Sutrah for the One Praying in the Haram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it true that there is no sutrah for the one praying in the Haram?
The Shaykh:
The barrier of faith is sufficient. The imam's barrier is sufficient for everyone behind him, whether in the Haram or elsewhere. As for prayers other than the congregational prayer, you are not preventing people; people are compelled to enter and walk, and the large number of people does not stop them. Let them walk, and this does no harm. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
People, when you are finishing your prayer, you cannot [stop them]. Yes.
