Re: Praying on a street/path

I have found this but i dont know the refernce…

Places where Offering Prayers is Makrooh907. There are a number of places where it is Makrooh to offer prayers. Some of them are the following:

Public bath

Saline land

Facing a human person

Facing an open door

On a road or street, provided that offering of prayers at these places does not cause inconvenience to others. If it is a source of inconvenience, and discomfort to them, it is haraam to obstruct their way.

Facing fire or a lamp

In the kitchens, and at every place where there is a furnace

Facing a well or a pit where people often urinate

Facing the picture or models of living creatures, unless it is covered

In the room where a Mujnib is present

At a place where there is a picture, even if it may not be placed in front of the person who offers prayers

Facing a grave

On the grave

Between two graves

In the graveyard
