Shaikh: Is what?
Questioner: Is it considered passing in front of the congregants, that is, is this action allowed?
Shaikh: Between him and the person praying and between sitting?
Questioner: He does not have a sutrah in front of him and the prayer ended. So a person comes so that he can be a sutrah for this man
Shaikh: This is the one who sits?
Questioner: Yes
Shaikh: So that he can be a sutrah for him. This is not considered passing in front of him
Questioner: Yes
Shaikh: This is a good affair from the angle of cooperating upon good“.
