The Shaykh : It is obligatory to have a sutrah, and when one has a sutrah, important rulings follow. First, if a person passes between the prayer and the place of his prostration, there is no sin on the one passing, but the sin is on the one passing as we mentioned earlier.
Second, it is permissible for him by the Shari'ah to push the passer, even by striking him. A man was praying facing a sutrah, and a man came to pass in front of him, so he pushed him in the best manner, but he did not stop as they say, he did not stop with the best manner, so he pushed him a second time, and he did not stop either, so he has the right to strike him a blow, even if he falls on his back because of it.
Yes, but if he is not praying, if he is praying without a sutrah, it is not permissible for him to do this pushing at all. This is one of the rulings of the sutrah.
The final and most important ruling: there is a hadith in Sahih Muslim that the Imam of the Sunnah, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, acted upon, stating that three things, if they pass in front of the one praying, meaning between him and the place of his prostration, invalidate his prayer: a mature woman, a black dog, and a donkey. This is if he is not praying facing a sutrah; if he is in front of a sutrah, it does not harm him if someone passes in front of him.
These are very important matters that people do not care about, and we observe this especially in the Sacred Mosque and then in the Prophet's Mosque, where women pass in front of men and no one cares, neither the passer nor the one praying cares, even though the prayer of those who are praying is invalidated, of course when they are praying the sunnah and voluntary prayers, and perhaps they are making up what is owed to them, they claim, and so on.
But if they are praying behind the imam, the imam is a sutrah for those behind him.
