The edges of carpets are not a barrier for the one praying

Q: Are the edges of the carpets in the mosques considered a barrier for the one praying?

A: The edges of the carpets are not considered a barrier for the one praying. The Sunnah is that the barrier should be something standing, such as the back of a saddle or more than that, like a wall, a pillar, a chair, or the like. If he does not find one, he should place a stick or the like in front of him if he is an imam or praying alone. As for the one praying behind an imam, the imam’s barrier is his barrier. If he is in an open area and does not find a barrier, he should draw a line.
The basis for this is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): It was narrated by Abu Dawud from Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) with a sound chain. And his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): It was narrated by Muslim in his Sahih. And it is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: It was narrated by Imam Ahmad and Ibn Majah, and Ibn Hibban graded it as authentic.
Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said in (Al-Bulugh), and he who claimed that it is confused did not hit the mark; rather, it is good. And success is from Allah.
