Does a woman interrupt a woman's prayer if she passes in front of her?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: Does a woman interrupt a woman's prayer if she passes in front of her?

Answer:
Yes, if she passes in front of her without a barrier, without a sutrah near her, passing close to her without a sutrah, or passing between her and the sutrah, this is forbidden in any case. As for whether it interrupts the prayer, the scholars have differed on whether a woman, a dog, and a donkey, as mentioned in the hadith, interrupt the prayer in a physical sense or in a figurative sense, meaning a reduction in the reward only. The majority hold that it is a figurative interruption, not a physical one, and that the intended meaning is a reduction in the reward in this case.
