namaz

welcome_islam · **namaz -** 10-12-2007

When you are doing namaz, and someone walks in front of you ,does the person who is doing namaz stop doing it or do they carry on?

- Qatada - · **Re: namaz -** 10-13-2007

Question: I know that it is not permissible to walk directly in front of a worshipper engaged in prayer. How far ahead of the worshipper must I be before I will be allowed to pass in front of him?

Answered by Sheikh Khâlid al-Mushaykih, professor at al-Imâm University, al-Qasîm brach

There are two different situations to consider.

The first situation is where the worshipper has placed something in front of him or positioned himself behind a pillar or something else to define his prayer space. This thing is known as the worshipper's sutrah. If he has taken a sutrah for himself, then it is permissible for you to pass directly beyond the sutrah. It is unlawful for you to pass between the worshipper and his sutrah.

The second situation is where the worshipper has not placed anything in front of him to define his prayer space. In this case, his prayer space is defined by the place that his head will go upon prostration. You may pass beyond that point. Some scholars have approximated this distance to be roughly three forearm lengths from the worshipper’s feet.

And Allah knows best.

A sutrah is something you place infront of you (when you're praying so if someone goes past it, your namaz doesn't break.

im just wondering what happens when a muture women passes by, does this rule still apply. as in the hadith

Quote:

He used to say: A man's prayer is cut off when there is nothing such as the end of a saddle in front of him, by: a [menstruating]55 woman, a donkey or a black dog. Abu Dharr said, 'I said: "O Messenger of Allaah, why the black dog rather than the red one?" He said, The black dog is a shaytaan.56

------
55 i.e. mature, and what is meant by `cut off' is `rendered futile'. As regards the hadeeth: "Nothing cuts off the prayer", then it is a weak hadeeth as I have shown in Tamaam al-Minnah (p. 306).

56 Muslim, Abu Daawood and Ibn Khuzaimah (1/95/2).
