Is the prayer valid if the shadow of a person appears on the door and curtain in front of the worshipper during prayer, knowing that there is no sutrah in front of him?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The ruling on the Sutrah for the worshiper has been previously explained, and that the passing of a woman or anyone else in front of him does not invalidate the prayer. If the passing itself does not invalidate the prayer, then the passing of a shadow, by extension, is even less likely to have an effect.
