Question
At what distance should the sutrah be placed for prayer?
Answer
It is preferred for a worshipper to leave a distance of approximately three cubits (forearm lengths) between his place of standing and the partition in front of him.
It was related that Ibn `Umar used to pray in the Grand Mosque in Mecca, by leaving approximately three cubits before the wall when he went to pray at the same place that Bilâl had informed him the Prophet (peace be upon him) had prayed.

And Allah knows best.
