Placing a sutrah when performing salaah
Question
Is it obligatory to have a sutrah when performing salaah?
In my training centre, the staff make sure the room I pray in is vacant and I don’t have a prayer mat - I just check if the floor is clean. Is this ok?
Answer
If there is the possibility of someone passing then it is emphasised.
Yes.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
