Security personnel standing in front of the Ka'bah during Salaah
Question
We find security personnel standing in front of the Ka'bah facing the Jamaath in the Haram Sharif during Salaah time and even during Sajdah, whereas we do not do this in the Masjid. Is this allowed according to Shariah?
Answer
They are doing it for your safety and security.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
