Placing the two sandals as a sutrah in front of the one praying

Question:
Is it permissible for the one praying to place his sandals as a sutrah for him in the prayer?

Answer:
The Sunnah is that he does not place them in front of him. If a sutrah is available to him, such as a wall, a pillar, a post, or a stick that he lays down, or a line that he draws, or something similar, that is what he should use. As for the sandals, the Sunnah is that he wears them and prays in them, or places them between his feet; he does not place them in front of him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And if he is the imam or praying alone, he places them to his left; he does not place them in front of him. No.
