What is the ruling on one who deliberately passes between a person praying and his sutrah, or does so out of necessity?
It is not permissible for him to pass, even if he were to wait forty years.We tell him: Praise be to Allah. Wait forty years, and when the time is up, pass. Will he be able to wait forty years?The questioner: No.
The Shaykh: He cannot.The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): (If the one who passes in front of the person praying knew what is upon him, it would be better for him to stand for forty years than to pass in front of him) Yes, out of necessity, such as: if a fire breaks out in the mosque and a person flees, that is a necessity. Even the person praying must flee.
