Abstract EN
This study estimates the area required for praying in a mosque where Moslems pray usualiy congregation.
The body during praying takes d؛fferentposture$ such as standing, kneeiing, and prostrating.
The movement of th،; body occupies a certain area in front of the prayer and, not suiprisingiy, a smaller area from behind.
Since in congregational prayer the Mosiems stand next to each other and in parallel rows, care should be exercised to avoid collision between buttocks and heads of prayers in successive rows.
This study attempts to design the required area for praying that would minimize collision.
The area for an individual can be used to find the total area required for a group of prayers.
Some anthropometric dimensions have been taken for a sample ofMoslems at static and dynamic postures.
Based on a sample size of45 male Moslems, it is found that the required area for male Saudi university students is 138*0ة cm (0.83 m2).
Collisions between prayers in successive rows is statistically analyzed and a mathematical model to minimize the collisions is presented.
