What is the sufficient distance for passing in front of the one praying?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If you pass in front of the one praying from a far distance, does this fall under the warning?

Answer:
If there is a sutrah in front of the one praying, do not pass between him and his sutrah. If there is no sutrah in front of him, the scholars have specified a distance of three cubits from his feet as the area. If you pass at a distance of more than three cubits, there is no harm in that.
