The questioner : Here, at this point, I mean, if a person does not place a barrier and intentionally omits taking a barrier, can we tell him that his prayer is invalid and he must repeat it?
The Shaykh : Even if no one passed in front of him?
The questioner : Yes, even if no one passed.
The Shaykh : No, but he is sinful.
The questioner : He is sinful, but if one of the people mentioned in the hadith passed.
The Shaykh : If one of these three passed between the place of his prostration and his standing, his prayer is invalid.
