The Ruling on Using a Sutrah for the One Praying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is using a sutrah for the one praying obligatory or recommended?
Answer:
Using a sutrah is recommended; it is one of the sunnahs (recommended practices) of the prayer. This is because when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) taught the one who prayed incorrectly how to pray, he did not mention the sutrah to him. He taught him the prayer and the actions of the prayer, but did not mention the sutrah to him.
