The ruling on using a shoe as a sutrah in the open desert
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I am in the open desert and I do not find anything suitable to place as a sutrah, is it permissible for me to place a shoe as a sutrah for myself?
The Shaykh:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) drew a line. He said: Draw a line, draw a line, and that is sufficient. Yes. Otherwise, place a stick in front of you or set it in front of you. Yes.
The presenter:
That is the end.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
