Question

Hello, If a person wants to kiss the Torah scroll during its entry, is there an issue if he passes in front of the amud when the shaliach tzibbur is not there (carrying the scroll)? Is there any halachic issue at all with passing in front of the amud when it is empty? Or in front of the Aron Kodesh? Or between them?

Answer

Hello 

There is no prohibition at all to pass in front of the amud and in front of the Aron Kodesh.
