Will preventing someone from walking in front of one while performing salaah be considered amal-e-katheer?

· 13 Safar 1441 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

It is written in Behishti Gohar that it is allowed to prevent a person from crossing in front of him while he is praying. However, if 'عمل کثیر' happens, then the prayer will become fasid.

What will be considered عمل کثیر ? What should the musalli do to prevent the person from crossing him?

Answer

For example, you use both your hands, or walked towards him and your chest turned away from the qiblah.

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.”
