Question:
A woman lives in a house that directly overlooks the Haram, and she prays with the congregation in the Haram via the loudspeakers, and she sees the people praying while she is praying. Is her prayer valid?
Answer:
No, as long as there are no rows of worshippers connecting her to the Haram, and there is a distance between her and the Haram that contains no worshippers, her prayer is not valid. But if the space between her and the Haram is filled with rows, there is no harm. However, if there is a distance between her and the Haram with no rows and no worshippers, or if there are streets between her and the Haram, this is not permissible and her prayer is not valid. Yes.
