Question

1) When performing Fard salaat behind the Imaam who then performs Sajdah Shaw in the final rakaat, should you follow him? 2) If someone walks in front of you whilst performing Salaat, is your salaat valid? What if a small child walks across? What should you do if someone is about to walk across you?

Answer

1. When the Imaam makes Sajda-e-Sahw, the follower (Muqtadi) must also make Sajda-e-Sahw.
2. It is Makrooh for a person to walk in front of a person performing Salaat. However, that does not invalidate the Salaat. The person performing Salaat should place a Sutra (barrier) in front of him to avoid a person crossing within the Sutra.
