The ruling on a woman passing in front of a person praying

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And if a woman passes by, O Shaykh Salih?

Answer:
And if a woman passes by, she is like a man. A woman is like a man, but it came in the hadith:
That a woman, a dog, and a donkey sever the prayer. The woman and the black dogأنه يَقْطَعُ الصَّلاَةَ الْمَرْأَةُ وَالْكَلْبُ وَالْحِمَارُ. المرأة والكلب الأسود
the donkey and the mule. This is what came in the hadith, and this severance is conceptual, not real. His prayer is not severed, but the severance means it severs her reward or reduces her reward, yes.
