Before a person starts to pray he should place something at a short distance in front of him on the place where he prostrates (does Sajdah). Such an object is called SUTRA and is used when the person is praying alone. A person passing in front of the person in prayer, should pass on the outside of the sutra.
If someone is praying in congregation, then the imam acts as the sutra. The imam, however, must have his own individual sutra in front of him.
