Question:
This is a question about women passing in front of the people praying in al-Masjid al-Haram.
Answer:
For a necessity, there is no harm. For a necessity, and it will not cause harm, if Allah wills, because you cannot prevent people from passing. The people are numerous, and you cannot stop them because of the crowd and the large number of people, and because most people are ignorant of this matter.[Al-Hajj 22:78] You cannot pray in any place in the Haram without people passing in front of you. If your prayer were invalidated by that, the prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram would not be valid. That is, you cannot prevent people. So, passing in front of the one praying in al-Masjid al-Haram does not affect the prayer, if Allah wills.
