Walking in front of someone performing salaah at home

· 2 Safar 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a person is offering salah at home, and he has not placed a sutra infront of him. Then is it permissible for me to walk directly infront of him? Is there any permission to walk infront of him leaving some distance, say a distance of two saffs?

Answer

No, it is not permissible.

As above

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
