Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the hadith, it is mentioned that he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed without a wall, and in one wording, as the commentator mentioned...?
Answer:
It may have been toward another sutrah; it is not necessary, and it is not established that he had no sutrah. He may have had a spear or something similar as a sutrah.
Q: The Hafiz mentioned al-Bazzar’s narration that he prayed without anything to serve as a sutrah?
The Shaykh: It is possible; because he did this when he visited the place of al-Abbas, which indicates that the sutrah is a recommended practice, not obligatory. So, the result is that he passed in front of some of the rows, and passing in front of a row does not break the prayer, even if the imam has no sutrah.
