Can glass doors be considered as a sutrah?

Question

I want to ask whether the sutra (a thing placed in front of a person performing namaaz) can be a glass. In our masajid, there are doors made of glass and the saffs are made on either side. So will it be allowed to cross while there is glass of exact or greater dimensions mentioned in shariah?

Answer

Yes.

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

Is it sinful to pass in front of someone praying?

“If one is sitting or performing salaah in front of a musallee, then it will be permissible for him to move to the right or move to the left. This will not be regarded as passing in front of the musallee.”
