Passing in front of a person offering Salah


A: Passing in front of a man who is offering Salah does not interrupt Salah. However, if he passes between him and the Sutrah or too close to him if there is no Sutrah, he commits a sin. If he passes behind the Sutrah or at a far distance if there is no Sutrah, he has not committed a sin, according to the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): “If one of you puts something in front of him such as the back of a saddle, then let him offer Salah without caring who passes beyond that.” (Related by Muslim) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
