The Ruling on the Sutrah and Passing in Front of the One Praying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second hadith of Ibn Abbas, his statement: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed facing something other than a wall"?
Answer:
Some of them cited it as evidence against the sutrah, but it is not explicit; because he only denied the wall, and did not deny the sutrah. It is possible that he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed facing a spear, so the absence of a wall does not necessitate the absence of a sutrah, as mentioned previously.
Q: Is there any explicit evidence for the majority regarding the absence of the sutrah?
A: I do not know of any, except the hadith of Ibn Abbas, but it is accused of being narrated by al-Hajjaj ibn Artah, as mentioned previously.
Q: If the imam does not take a sutrah, and a donkey passes in front of some of the row?
A: It does no harm; the matter is upon the imam.
