Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on passing in front of a person praying during tawaf, given that the person praying does not place a sutrah?
Answer:
In the Sacred Mosque, due to the severe congestion, there is leniency in passing out of dire necessity, because it is not possible to stop the lines of people and block them until you finish your prayer. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Hajj 22:78] So in the Sacred Mosque, there is leniency in passing out of dire necessity. As for in other than the Sacred Mosque, in a spacious place, or a place without congestion, it is not permissible to pass in front of a person praying.
