The Size of the Sutrah in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, this person is asking about the sutrah: is it the same for a woman and a man, and what is its size?
The Shaykh:
The sutrah is something standing in front of the one praying that prevents people from passing between him and the qiblah, and its minimum is the size of the back of a saddle, meaning it should be raised to the height of the back of a saddle, yes.
The questioner:
The woman, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
The woman and the man are the same in this regard; all of them pray facing a sutrah and bring it close and stand near it, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
