However, if a person places a sutra in front of them, is it then permissible to pass beyond that sutra?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"With the exception of the mataf (area where people perform tawaf) in the Haram of Mecca, where it is permissible to pass in front of a praying person even if they have placed a sutra, the standard rules of sutra apply everywhere else. Your understanding is correct: the prohibition is against passing between a person and their sutra, not in front of the sutra itself, and this ruling applies in any masjid.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe30b76658b4c23281e","tag":"Salah: Other","count":144},{"_id":"668d9fe10b76658b4c2327d3","tag":"Worship: Masjids, Mosques, and Musallahs","count":54},{"_id":"668d9ff50b76658b4c232a43","tag":"Hajj and Umrah: Other","count":41}],"createdOn":"2026-04-29T18:12:28.344Z"}
