Question
If one, whilst sitting, leans to the side and puts their arm in front of the masbooq to the side and behind them, in order to allow people to pass in front of the masbooq, does this suffice?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
If a musalli stretches his arm to his right or left intending to create a sutrah infront of the masbooq behind him, then it will be permissible to pass only the masbooqs directly covered by the outstretched arm.[1]
