Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A listener who indicated his name by the letters (S. S. M) from Khamis Mushait. Our brother has more than one question about the sutrah during prayer. In his first question, he asks: What is the ruling on placing a sutrah inside the mosque and in front of the mihrab? What is the ruling on the prayer of one who prayed without a sutrah inside the mosque? Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) pray facing a sutrah inside the mosque? We hope for your information and clarification of the hadiths indicating this. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Praying facing a sutrah is a confirmed sunnah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray facing a sutrah in the mosque and while traveling; a peg would be set up for him. In the mosque, he would pray facing the sutrah that was placed for him (peace and blessings be upon him). Likewise, the one praying alone prays facing a sutrah; this is the sunnah.
As for the ma'mum, the imam's sutrah is sufficient for him; he does not need a separate sutrah. The ma'mum's sutrah is his imam's sutrah, and this is a confirmed sunnah. This is based on his statement (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 954Sahih (Darussalam) It was narrated by Abu Dawud with a sound chain from Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him).
It is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that on some occasions he prayed without a sutrah, as mentioned by Ibn Abbas and his brother al-Fadl ibn Abbas in what al-Nasa'i and others narrated:. This indicates that it is not obligatory. Likewise, in the two Sahihs, from the hadith of Ibn Abbas: . It did not say that there was a sutrah there, so its apparent meaning is that he prayed without a sutrah.
The point is: the sutrah is a sunnah. If the imam or the one praying alone prays without a sutrah, the prayer is valid. However, the best and the sunnah is to place a sutrah in front of him, whether it is a wall, a chair, a pillar, or a stick that he sets up. If he does not find one, he draws a line on the ground. Yes.

When anyone of you performs prayer, let him pray facing towards a Sutrah, and let him get close to it
إذا صلى أحدكم فليصل إلى سترة، وليدن منهاIt is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that on some occasions he prayed without a sutrah, as mentioned by Ibn Abbas and his brother al-Fadl ibn Abbas in what al-Nasa'i and others narrated:
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) visited them on some occasions and prayed with them without a sutrah
أن النبي ﷺ زارهم في بعض الأحيان وصلى بهم إلى غير سترةThat he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was praying in Mina without a wall
أنه أتى النبي ﷺ وهو يصلي في منى إلى غير جدارThe point is: the sutrah is a sunnah. If the imam or the one praying alone prays without a sutrah, the prayer is valid. However, the best and the sunnah is to place a sutrah in front of him, whether it is a wall, a chair, a pillar, or a stick that he sets up. If he does not find one, he draws a line on the ground.
