Legality of the Sutrah Making use of the partition is prescribed at home, on a journey, during obligatory prayer and supererogatory prayer, in the mosque and anywhere else; for what has been confirmed from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: “Whenever any of you is praying, let him pray toward a partition and let him move close to it.” [ Source: Abu Dawud.] And on the authority of Wahb t, who said: “The Prophet ﷺ led us in Salah at Minna, so he placed a walking stick - which is a short-stick – in front of him (where he was praying), then he prayed two Raka‘at.” [ Source: Ahmad.]
