The Stronger Position on a Woman Interrupting the Prayer in the Sacred Precinct
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: What is the stronger position regarding a woman interrupting the prayer in the sacred precinct?
Answer:
My brother, for a woman and for anyone else, passing through the sacred precinct is permissible in front of the praying people for two reasons. The first reason is that the imam’s barrier in an obligatory prayer, or in the tarawih prayer, or in any other congregational prayer, serves as a barrier for those behind him. Therefore, passing is not prohibited except between the imam and his barrier. The second reason is that the sacred precinct is crowded and there is a dire necessity. So, the more severe the situation becomes, the more the ruling is relaxed, praise be to Allah. Thus, there is no harm in doing so due to dire necessity. Yes.
