The Prophet Muhammed (SAW) said: “When one of you prays, pray towards a Sutrah. Stand close to it and do not let anyone pass between you and it.” – Abu Dawood
The Sutrah can be anything one puts in from of him when he is facing the Qiblah to screen those passing in front of him from going one side to the other. It could be a wall, a person or a piece of wood and there is no limit to its width. It should be the height of the back of a saddle (about a hand span)..

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) told us: “The first thing the people would be accountable for on the Day of Judgement will be prayer, Allah (SWT) will say to His angels: ‘Look at my servant’s fardh prayers. Were they complete or not?’. If they were complete, it would be written as complete. If they were not fully complete, Allah will say to the angels: ‘See if my servant has sunnah prayers’. If he has them, Allah will say: ‘Complete his obligatory prayers shortage with his voluntary prayers.’ Then the rest of his deeds will be dealt with in the same manner.” - Ahmad, Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi
