Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on passing in front of a person praying in the Haram? And does women passing in front of men in the Haram invalidate their prayer?
Answer:
Passing in the Haram is a dire necessity; passing in the Haram is a dire necessity. There is nothing wrong with passing, even if one passes in front of the person praying, whether a woman or a man, because this falls under the category of dire necessity due to the heavy crowds. Allah the Exalted says:[Al-Hajj 22:78]
