The ruling on using a bed as a barrier for prayer while one’s wife is on it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If I pray and use the sleeping bed as a barrier for me, and my wife is on the bed, does the prayer become invalid or is it broken?
Answer:
There is no harm in that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the night prayer with Aisha lying across in front of him. He prayed with Aisha lying across in front of him (peace and blessings be upon him). This is like passing by; passing by is forbidden, but a person who is sitting or sleeping does not harm, whether it is a man or a woman, as evidenced by the action of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
