The Ruling on the Sutrah in Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Does the hadith regarding 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), in which he said, "I came riding on a donkey until he said, 'And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying with the people,'" up to the end of the narration, indicate that the sutrah (prayer barrier) is a recommended practice (sunnah) or that it is obligatory?

Answer:
This hadith indicates that the sutrah...

The presenter:
...is sufficient for the imam and the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam). So, 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas passed in front of the imam. If the imam has a sutrah, then the imam's sutrah is sufficient as a sutrah for the ma'mum.
