Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on a woman passing in front of a person praying, whether in an obligatory or voluntary prayer, in the Haram?
Answer:
The people of the Haram are excused from passing in front of the one praying due to necessity and crowding, whether they are men or women. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:[Al-Hajj 22:78] The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed in the Haram while people were passing in front of him, and he did not prevent them (peace and blessings be upon him), as in the Farewell Pilgrimage. He prayed the Fajr prayer when he came to perform the farewell tawaf, and people were passing in front of him, and he did not prevent them (peace and blessings be upon him). This is because there is hardship in preventing people when one is unable to stop them due to the large number of people and the crowding, and the high volume of passing.
