Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person praying places a sutrah (barrier) in front of him, but there is a long distance between him and it, approximately two meters, is it permissible for him to pray?
Answer:
They set the limit at three cubits, so he should not be more than three cubits away from it. If he is more than three cubits away from it, it no longer serves as a sutrah.
