The Ruling on the Sutrah in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the sutrah in prayer obligatory or recommended? What is sufficient for it? And what is the distance between it and the one praying? Also, what is the case in the Noble Makkah Haram?
Answer:
The Makkah Haram serves as a sutrah for the imam, and the imam serves as a sutrah for those behind him in the Makkah Haram and elsewhere. As for if one prays alone, or prays in congregation with an imam other than the imam of the Haram, and they miss the prayer, they should take a sutrah. The imam takes a sutrah in front of him, and it suffices for those behind him. Yes.
