Question
Sometimes while in Salaat a person walks in front of the musalli. Some say that as long as the person passes at a distance more than an arm's length, the musalli's Salaat will not break. But if the distance is less than an arm's length, the Salaat will break. Is this correct?
Answer
Even if someone passes right in front of and against the face of the musalli (the one performing Salaat), his Salaat will not break. The musalli's Salaat is not affected by someone passing in front of him. The one who unnecessarily passes in front of a musalli is guilty of a grave sin.
