Continuation of the explanation of the hadith: (Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

The Shaykh : Masculinity is not a condition, because the woman and the man are equal in this ruling. And his saying: is not a restriction either; it is an explanation of the reality, because a non-Muslim has no prayer at all, even if he prays and claims that he is drawing near to Allah with this prayer, he has no prayer.
And his saying:Bulugh al-Maram 2:98 in front of him means close to him, because "in front of him" can imply distance and can imply closeness. But when we know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approached the wall until there was nothing between him and it except the passage of a sheep, we know that the meaning of "in front of him" is close to him.
But does it have a limit by the cubit, or a limit based on the state of the one praying? The answer is the second: the limit is that it be close to the place of his prostration, and this varies. A tall person extends the space in front of him more than what? A short person. Some scholars limit it to three cubits, but there is no evidence for this, and specifying a limit requires evidence. If there is no evidence, we return to the original principle, which is that a person only owns of the earth the amount he needs, what? He needs, and what he needs is the extent of his prostration.
And his saying may be difficult to understand, because its apparent meaning is that the sutrah must be like the rear of a saddle, even though it was previously stated that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So this is from what has no concept, and the restriction is for the most complete and best, not for the minimum sufficient amount.
And his saying: the woman means the adult, because the term "woman" is not applied to a female unless she is an adult, whereas a young girl does not fall under the name "woman."
means one that is entirely black. So if its color is black and white, it does not cut off the prayer. If it is white, it does not cut off the prayer. If it is red, it does not cut off the prayer. If it is yellow, it does not cut off the prayer. If it is spotted, meaning its color is mixed between white and black, it does not cut off the prayer.
The hadith: The donkey is well known, and the hadith is general, including the white and black donkey, and the small and large. And in it: The reason for this phrase is that Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): It was said that its meaning is that it is a devil taking the form of a dog, and it was said that its meaning is a devil, i.e., the devil of dogs, just as humans have devils and the jinn have devils, and the devil of humans is not the devil of the jinn. So the meaning of "devil" is the most severe in evil, harm, and ugliness, and the meaning is not that it is a devil taking the form of a dog.
